There’s a neighborhood in Kawasaki called Mizonokuchi. At first I thought it was Mi*zu*nokuchi, or literally “mouth of the water”… maybe where a creek emptied into a river, or a river into the ocean. Romantic. Poetic. Then I looked up the kanji:
溝ノ口
It turns out mizo actually means “ditch”. Mouth of the ditch.
Not so poetic.
