Hey /diy/

I have been thinking of making a shishi odoshi, recently, and I've seen a load of videos on how to build your own. The problem I've been having is with the water pumping system. I am looking for a traditional/classical method that has no motors and is driven by gravity and pressure/vacuum. Every video and instructional guide that I've found refers to a fountain-sized water pump, and that's not what I am looking for. I am sure the traditional japanese didn't use electrical mechanisms for their shishi odoshi in their garden.

Can someone please give me a hand on this matter? Much appreciated!

>TL;DR - looking for a hydromechanics enthusiast to help me develop a simple water lifting system.

This is what a shishi odoshi is:
