LAUNCH OF AKIHO EIYOSHOU

2023 is not only the year of commemorating Hachikou’s 100th anniversary, it will also mark the launch of a special award: AKIHO Eiyoshou.

Similarly to AKIHO Meiyoshou—the legendary award that may or may not be assigned to one or multiple Akita Inu competing in Seiken A class at Honbuten—AKIHO Eiyoshou is an honorary award that exceeds Tokuyuu.

We look forward finding out if and to who the first AKIHO Eiyoshou will be assigned during the 12th European Hozonkai, later next week.
