Starting in 1999, Emoto published several volumes of a work entitled Messages from Water, containing photographs of ice crystals and accompanying experiments such as that of the "rice in water 30 day experiment." == Biography == Emoto was born in Yokohama and graduated from Yokohama Municipal University after taking courses in International Relations.
