Japanese Shishi Odoshi "Deer Scarer" Bamboo Water Fountain
Japanese Shishi Odoshi "Deer Scarer" Bamboo Water Fountain
Featured in the famous “Kill Bill Vol. 1” fight scene – the Shishi Odoshi or “Deer Scarer” Bamboo Water Fountain would make a fantastic water feature for one’s Backyard or “Zen Garden”. This one was filmed at the Morikami Japanese Gardens near Boca Raton, Florida. There are many kits and DIY ideas out there, but I have to say, if I was to do one – I would imitate this one, make it big and use natural bamboo and lots of rocks. A relatively simple project that just requires a pump and some imagination. This fountain operates on about a 50 second period and when full of water it falls and makes two loud knocks on rocks and then resets for another 50 seconds. One adjusts the length of the return knocks and how loud the knocks are by how many bamboo cells you open letting a certain volume of water collect and adjusting the pivot point. A large cavity and a slow period and heavy water for a big splash and loud knocks, which is what I would prefer. The ideas is that the loud knocks disturb deer that might eat your garden plants, but it doesn’t bother the birds and other little critters. And really it functions as a meditative background. Enjoy three complete cycles of this unique fountain!

So this really is hattori hanzo steel…
The SUSPENSE!!!!!! Relaxing?
Oh Dear, I"m scared.
Nice video
That’s a beautiful backyard!
The irony is that I love these things but I’m a deer!
I am watching this doesn’t mean that I got inspired from an anime and came searching.
I mean yes I did get inspired from animes but it doesn’t mean that’s the reason I’m here 😂
It sounds better in anime
2:10 is when it falls (for those looking)
is it normal that it bangs like that on the floor?
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I have one of these in Animal Crossing, so I just had to look it up and see what it’s like in real life. I kinda want one.
Speaking as a deer, this is Hellraiser to us.
So that’s the purpose of them I never knew…
These things were created for punctuating punchlines in Anime!
Deer: Holy Shit
Ultimate Zen
I’m gonna build one of these to keep raccoons away!!!
This one doesn’t make much of a sound 🙁
Was used to add tension in Kill Bill
Omg I was just looking through the description I can’t believe this was filmed at the Morikami Museum. I live near there. How crazy. I haven’t gone to Morikami but I want to really badly. I love the Japanese, Korean, Chinese culture. It’s so interesting
0:27, 1:17, etc
Dull sound when knocking back on the rock. Like the bamboo has cracked.
Can someone please explain what these are for?
I LOVE IT
It’s so cute and makes me feel tranquil. I want one!
Excuse me. Do you know a place where sailors like to hang out?
I liked it when the thing went thunk.
Ahhhhh! It’s suck a fuck up
Very cool water feature though
Huh. Never thought this video made me learned about patience
Anime
I am researching ancient sounds in anime for a final project. The main focus is Jiraiya (Naruto) and the sounds of Kabuki, but I am also looking at things like shishi odoshi … just common ancient sound effects that are inserted into anime.
I don’t know the meaning of ANY of it, but I want to know.
If anyone has any pointers (animes, what these sounds mean, etc) please let me know!
Voice of bird, water, bamboo boring, very satisfied
Twilight Princess Hyrule Field Night Theme has a sound in it similar to this

I NEED LOOP!!
Sounds like smth has broken 🙂
If I had one of these in my garden I think I’d spend most the day sitting and watching it
