It was constructed together with the Togane Dam in Togane City as a regulating reservoir for the Boso Water Canal, which carries water from the Tone River to the Boso Peninsula, and supplies water and industrial water from the Tone River, which is taken from the Kuriyama River (Ryoso water) and sent from the Togane Dam, to the surrounding cities of Chosei-gun, as well as to the east bank of the Edo River in Matsudo City and the Tokyo Bay area in Chiba City. The purpose of the project is to supply water from the river to the surrounding cities of Chosei-gun, the east bank of the Edo River in Matsudo City, and the Tokyo Bay area in Chiba City.
It is the fourth tallest earth dam in Japan, the tallest in the Kanto region, and one of the largest earth dams of its type in Japan. Both the dam and the dam lake formed by the dam are located in Nagara Town, but a part of the dam lake borders the former Ichizu Town, which is now Ichihara City, and was named Ichizu Lake.
There is also a dam with the same name in Ayagawa, Ayagawa Town, Ayaka County, Kagawa Prefecture.
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.
