Shishi odoshi means "deer scarer" in Japanese is devices made to scare away birds and beasts damaging agriculture.
It consists of a segmented tube, usually of bamboo, pivoted to one side of its balance point. At rest, its heavier end is down. A trickle of water into one end of the tube accumulates and eventually moves the tube's centre of gravity past the pivot, causing the tube to rotate and dump out the water. The heavier end then rotates back, making a sharp sound, and the cycle repeats. This noise is intended to startle any deer which may be grazing on the plants in the garden. #3D_Challenge_109 #bamboo #deer_scarer #fountain #garden #Japanese #landscape #noise #scare #Shishi_odoshi #tube #water
