Hands, Bronze fountain sculpture in Heiwa-dōri Kaimono Kōen, Japan

The Hands fountain combines water features with bronze craftsmanship, creating a central element in the pedestrian shopping district of Asahikawa.

Installed in 1972, this sculpture marked the development of public art installations within Asahikawa's commercial district during Japan's economic growth period.

The sculpture reflects Japanese artistic expression through its placement in Heiwa-dōri Kaimono Kōen, where it connects with daily life of local residents.

Located directly in front of Asahikawa Station, the sculpture serves as a meeting point and orientation landmark for visitors exploring the shopping area.

Water flows through the bronze hands structure, creating patterns that change with seasonal temperatures and lighting conditions throughout the year.
