      What does 'BU' mean in Japanese Koi Books...

      It seems to be a unit of measurement, but I can't figure it out.

      Bu is Japanese for size or size division.
      So---

      Size divisions:

      1 bu - is Ichi- Bu or size 1 ( under 7 inches)
      2 bu - is Ni-Bu or size 2 ( 7 - 10 inches)
      3 bu - is San-Bu or size 3 ( 10-14 inches)
      4 bu - is Yon-Bu or size 4 ( 14-18 inches)
      5 bu - is Go-Bu or size 5 ( 18-22 inches)
      6 bu - is Roku- Bu or size 6 ( 22- 26 inches)

      Make sense now? JR
