De Liefde :
tower mill
:
Sakura
A Dutch drainage mill, made in the Netherlands, then shipped and
assembled in 1994-6 by Verbij Hoogmade BV. The mill was built for the
40th anniversary of Sakura City, and as a landmark for the Sakura
Furusato Square, serves also as symbol of the goodwill between Japan and
the Netherlands.
The 15.6m high tower brick tower contains 4 floors of reinforced concrete,
and the sails have a diameter of 27.5m. The mill is located alongside the
railway linking Tokyo to Narita airport, so is seen by a good proportion
of visitors to Japan - not a typical Japanese sight at all! In spring,
the fields around the mill are full of flowering bulbs.
