Tamagawa brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tamagawa brothers, Shoemon and Seiemon,[1] were two Japanese engineers who played a crucial role in the construction of the Tamagawa Aqueduct during the Edo[2] period. Originally farmers, they were commissioned by the Tokugawa shogunate to build the aqueduct to supply water to the rapidly growing city of Edo (present-day Tokyo).[3]
