Katsushika's Shibamata district is the filming location of the beloved 'Otoko wa Tsurai yo' (男はつらいよ) film series (1969–1995). The ward uses Tora-san (the film's hero) as its official waste-sorting mascot — one of the few places in Japan where a film character is used in official government waste management campaigns.

Katsushika's community tone is traditional and tight-knit — waste sorting at collection stations is a community matter. Neighbours will often note incorrect sorting, so following the rules carefully is expected.
