The Japanese name for the dippers (more specifically, the Brown Dipper) is カワガラス kawa-garasu 'river-crow', written either 河烏 or 川烏. The word kawa, meaning 'river', can be written either 河 or 川 in Japanese, the first being used for larger rivers. (In Chinese, these two characters represent two distinct words. Of the two, only 河 normally means 'river'.)
