It rains a lot in Japan, and people love to talk about the weather—evidenced by the fact that the Japanese language has over 50 nouns for rain.
At a 2014 exhibition in Paris, Japanese design troupe Nendo chose just 20 of these words and artistically captured each in a water bottle, using clear acrylic bottles to create delicate dioramas to illustrate the different types of rain.
