Ahhhh the true beauty of japan lies not only within the people, rich culture, food, transit, the everlasting hustle and bustle and cleaniness of the country, but also the extraordinary architecture of not only the buildings and the immense temples and shrines, but something as simple as manhole covers... here is a shot that I took while visiting Japan this past summer, brings back the vivid memories and oh how I can't wait to go back!
Awesome post here @boxcarblue Much respect from @conradsuperb
Very well written comment. You’ve nailed it. I believe that’s a Kyoto manhole cover, but I’m not sure. I have a similar picture, but mine doesn’t have those nice colors in the middle.
This was actually a manhole cover in Arakawa, very close to Minami-senju station... I wish I would have taken more photos of manhole covers while I was there, but now I guess I have something to look forward to for next time around.. ARITGATOO GOZAIMASU :-)
You’re welcome. Enjoy your next trip back.
