    Commodore Perry seems to have seen a lot of Japanese cultures to low-level.

    @TravUnderwood We do have koi fish in the large pond of our Stroll Garden section.

The gardeners plan to begin introducing new koi next year (giving us time to complete construction & repairs on the koi ponds this year). Thanks for your interest!
