Decorated manhole cover, Japan. Accompanying text reads, "Manhole covers sporting elaborate designs often catch the stroller's eye. Scenery, flowers, birds, trees, and other well-known aspects of the area are designed on the covers as a part of the landscape or landmark. At the same time, such manhole covers convey the importance of sewage works to the people who enjoy the design."
