not your usual sidewalk art!

Thanks to Mavis for the website on Japanese manholes, I found this! My favorite. What a beautiful manhole from Sakata, Yamagata prefecture. It is really a piece of art, isn't it? I love how Japanese manholes are so unique! You can see more, here at: manholes for other examples of gorgeous work. I have seen some beauts in Kyoto, however, in modern Tokyo I haven't caught a glimpse of many. My town, Tsukuba is way too modern (very artificial and well-planned out before they built it) for such ancient art!
