c) Watercourses that are depicted in connection with human activities, in a Japanese/East Asian setting.
d) Fireworks over a river.
e) Port districts within South-East/East Asian cities.
f) Depiction of rivers from Japanese mythology.
g) Depiction of rivers/waterbodies (excluding small pools and wells) related to Japanese horror/detective fiction.
h) Dams as central elements in a Japanese setting.
