Jim O'Neil's photos with the keyword: Manhole

I just got back to Umenomoto after a 2 day trip to the Uwajima area of Sukoku Island. As that's where they have bull fights (bull against bull), this is one of their manhole cover designs.

I showed, earlier, the manhole cover from Ise. So! Here are 3 more from other parts of Japan. Ozu is is small town near (50-70 kilometers) Matsuyama. The reason for the birds: They still fish with cormorants, -use birds to catch the fish in the river for them, there. The oldest part of town hasn't changed too much since the 1500s.
