Art jewelry manholes

According to unconfirmed information, this trend originated in Japan about 30 years ago, when one of the officials in the Ministry of Construction had the idea to let the municipalities themselves produce manholes.

According to the idea, it was to raise awareness about how much fun it is expensive. We do not quite understand the logic, but the fact remains, and today in Japan, there are more than six thousand of these original sewer manholes. At the beginning of the program, there have been a lot of competition with preliminary sketches for future covers. Competition between municipalities to better sewers continues to this day.
