Last Sunday morning, Tohru Ninomiya gathered a group of around 20 people, mostly Japanese and Vietnamese, at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square beside Sword Lake. After a few minutes of greetings, everybody put on their gloves to walk around the lake and pick up garbage. Ninomiya came to Vietnam 14 years ago and quickly fell in love with Hanoi and Sword Lake, also known as Hoan Kiem Lake. But he was a bit upset by the garbage he saw strewn around the iconic landmark. "The lake would be even more beautiful without all the trash around it," the 74-year-old Japanese man recalled thinking upon his first visit to the lake in the early 2000s.

He thought about his favorite place in town, Sword Lake, and asked five other Japanese if they would volunteer with him to collect garbage. Tohru Ninomiya stands by Sword Lake in Hanoi, June 2023.
