School teacher continues to release rainbow trout downstream

MAEBASHI, Japan - Shigenobu Fujii, a school teacher in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, tries fly fishing at the Momonoki River in a suburb of the prefectural capital on April 20, 2013. Fujii has been releasing rainbow trout caught in a fishing pond into the small river over the past decade, hoping that the river will become "a place where kids play with fish and people gather."

Futamata and Momotani-bashi Bridge

Futamata and Momotani-bashi Bridge

This is where the Zeniya river (present-day main stream of Nakashima River) from Himi Pass and the Narutaki area and the Domon river from the Nishiyama area merge. Momotani Bridge is an arched stone bridge 12.4m in length and 3.4m width built in 1679 by Nagashima Nizaemon, also known as Monk Bokui, over the Domon river in Dekidaiku-machi. Since there were many peach trees along the river, the town was called Momonoki-Daiku-machi and the area Momotani (peach valley). The area around the big pine tree on the left is Fudomyoh-do. The bridge is located a little upstream of where the two rivers merged and therefore survived the Nagasaki Flood.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
