Originally, it was a water spout in the shape of an animal in Gothic architecture to drain rainwater. In Japan, it is called a hibashi, and is used in fountains and other water areas in parks. It is often modeled after the head of an animal, monster, or person, and is characterized by an open mouth spitting out water.

本来は、ゴシック建築で動物などをかたどった雨水を落とすための吐水口。日本では樋嘴(ひばし)といい、公園などの噴水や水回りに取り入れられている。動物や怪獣、人物の頭を擬することが多く、いずれも口を開けて水を吐き出しているのが特徴。
