A couple in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, donated a complete fountain system to the Shunan City Museum of Art. The donors were Yoshio Ishikawa, honorary director of Tokuyama Clinic, and his wife Kayoko, who received a letter of appreciation from Mayor Ritsuko Fujii. Ishikawa had also donated a fountain system about 30 years ago, but it had been out of operation for about three years due to deterioration. He decided to donate again so that visitors could gaze at the fountain while savoring the lingering impressions of the artworks. The new fountain features eight water spray patterns that change every 30 seconds and is illuminated with LED lights whose colors change with the seasons and events. Mayor Fujii said, "The sight of fountain water soaring vigorously is truly living art, and its wonderful water forms will become a symbol of the museum that warmly welcomes everyone again." The fountain can be enjoyed daily during museum opening hours.
