Complexity disguised as calming simplicity is not an easily achievable task, but these Japanese fountains accomplish just that.

The first video shows the Canal City fountain in Hakata, Japan — the use of water was so unexpected that it was unclear to me at first what I was looking at. The second video shows a clock fountain in Kanazawa, Japan, and while significantly understated in comparison to Canal City, it is nonetheless impressive in its clever functionality.
