ROJISON
 
Rojison literally means 'roadside respect' and indeed it is a symbol of neighborhood safety and protection. Rainwater is collected in an underground tank from the roofs of nearby houses. This water can be pumped up with a hand pump and used in emergencies, to extinguish fires or in case of an earthquake. Local children use it in the summer to play and rojison water is also used to grow organic vegetables. Rojison are a familiar sight in the Mukojima area of Sumida, Tokyo.
