The Japanese like to bring artistic design to the most unexpected and mundane canvases. Where most people see a plain or boring necessity, the people of Japan often see an opportunity to create an interesting or unique piece of art. Following on from our post about Creative Japanese Barcodes, where Japan took the uninventive consumer icon that is the barcode and added a clever twist to make them far more appealing to the eye, we bring you a selection of artistic Japanese manhole covers. The manhole cover, like the barcode, is something that is seen as a mundane essential that detracts from its surroundings. With these cool artistic designs the people of Japan have turned the manhole cover into an interesting feature of the setting in which it is situated. Thank you to Arpana-infj, who is a great stumbler with fantastic taste, for making us aware of these creative designs. Check out Artistic Japanese Manhole Covers below:
