Tokyo, Koganei: At the Neighborhood Water Pumping Station
30 Min.
Overview
The setting is a local “water pumping station” where natural groundwater flows. Located between apartment buildings in Koganei City, Tokyo, it's an inconspicuous spot, yet people keep coming to fetch water. A local woman brings a large number of plastic bottles. A nearby college student holds a kettle in one hand, saying he was asked by his mother. A nearby vegetable shop uses water from this well to cook dishes in large pots. This area is known for its high-quality groundwater. What are the reasons behind each person's decision to come here to collect water? Over three days, we listen to the stories at the street corner water well.
