Mizu Wo Tsutau Tamagawa Dokusui

[Machine Translation] The first-class river "Tamagawa" flows through Akita Prefecture. At its headwaters, highly acidic water gushes out at a rate of 9,000 liters per minute. It is called "Tamagawa poison water" because it is the most acidic water in Japan, attracting no flora or fauna and dissolving kitchen knives overnight. The water that rejects life is filled with clarity and beauty, and is transformed into a stream where people and nature coexist in harmony. This moment and its cycle are captured in photographs.
