| Zempukuji pond, located in a residential area, reminds me of an oasis in a desert. Around the pond, you may see the illusion that human beings, birds, dogs and insects together are taking a rest from their struggle for existence in the severe urban environment. It is miracule to keep this situation now. Because the natural water source of the pond has depleted already, and many residences have approach around the pond. |
