Ankyo Maniac! (Chikuma Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Walking around town becomes a lot more enjoyable when you learn about the existence of culverts, rivers that once existed. The two authors, Yoshimura Sho, who delves into the history of culverts and paints a richly emotional picture, and Hideo, who approaches culverts from a bird's eye view based on survey data, weave together a book devoted to culverts. The book covers Tokyo (Suginami, Sugamo, Arakawa, etc.), three neighboring prefectures, Sapporo, Naha, and Taipei. In this collection, 40 pages of culverts in Shimokitazawa, Yokohama, Toyohashi (building above culvert), and Sakai (ancient tomb) are newly added.
