◤Ushinokuchi Circular Diversion◢
One of Sakuhomachi’s hidden cultural treasures in Nagano Prefecture🕌
It was built to divide water equally so that disputes would not arise in the area.
Before the circular diversion was created, locals used a custom called “vines diversion,” in which they cut vine tendrils and used them to decide each share of the water—a practice that seems to have been rare across Japan💭
