Japanese Manhole Covers

Let’s discuss everything you know about manhole covers: they keep you from falling in sewers, they’re like front doors for Ninja Turtles, and there was a little known computer game called The Manhole in 1989 that pretty much trumped the Oregon Trail when it came to wasting time on the school’s primitive Apple Macintosh. But did you know that they also make incredibly ornate manhole covers in Japan? They’re so popular that there’s an flickr group dedicated to the decorated covers you walk all over.
