Japanese manhole covers come in a variety of designs depending on locality, utility type and the manufacturer of the manhole cover.
Each manhole cover includes a symbol specific to an area or town. For example, In Kyoto, a turtle (a symbol of wisdom and longevity) is the main motif.
What a great idea to make something that’s normally dull and functional look so beautiful.
This is exactly the kind of fresh innovative thinking that has made Japan one of leading lights in the graphic design world.
