The Japanese know how to make just about anything beautiful. Thanks for this clip.

Here are some more photos (4,168 photos!) of manhole cover (and other related covers) from all over the world: http://www.flickr.com/groups/manhole/pool/page6/

Interesting. Who would have known that there wold be such fascination with this kind of object?

Wonderful. Great clip. They wouldn't last 5 minutes as manhole covers in South Africa - they'd be stolen in an instant.

I'm mostly impressed with whoever thought to look down and enjoy the beauty under their feet. Beauty is all around us, but we forget to experience it
