The Amazing Water Fountain at Osaka Station

Apr 30, 2013 2 comments

Nothing can describe how mesmerizing the water fountain at the Osaka City Station in Japan is. The attraction, located in the South Gate Building of the new Osaka Station City complex, consist of a large rectangular water fountain that displays a digital style time read out, moving floral patterns and falling shapes in the collapsing wall of water. Designed by the local firm Koei Industry, the fountain works using a digitally controlled printer that ejects water droplets in carefully controlled patterns to reproduce images that are stored on a PC. The water droplets are illuminated by overhead lights. Founded in 1987, Koei has produced entertainment fountains and landscape displays in various cities in Japan.
