Grand Champion

This year's grand champion was 'KOTOU-NISHIKI', also known as 'Ghost Fūkiran'.  This variety is probably the weakest variety in all Fūkiran .  It was protected by SEISHICHI FUJII and his family during World War 2.  Without his effort, this variety would have been extinct. Nobody has ever seen a big clump Kotou-nishiki because of their weak roots.
