Water Painting



Water Painting Fountain in Canal City, Hakata, Japan aka creation of images with water. Impressive minds from Japan came with an idea of building a water fountain that would be programmed to squirt water in such sequence so as to “paint” shapes with water. The idea became reality and the water painting fountain can be seen in a shopping mall of a Canal City in Hakata, Japan.

Canal City Hakata was built around an artificial canal and the shopping complex houses several impressive fountains but water painting one takes the cake hands down.

The technology behind the water painting fountain is similar to that of an inkjet printer. Hundreds of nozzles are controlled by microchips to deliver precise streams of water at right times. The results are impressive – water painted images and words.

One of the most impressive videos I’ve seen in a while. I really want to go to Japan
