Watch Out! It's Osaka's manhole cover!
L ast week, I introduced the signal of Osaka—— Tsutenkaku , while I also mentioned many Osaka people give their special position to Tsutenkaku, the Osaka Castle . Here is a picture of it, but wait, why is it on a manhole cover ? 🍃 ---------------------- 👘. 👘. 👘. 👘. 👘. 👘. ---------------------- 🍃 T hinking of manhole covers, dirty and stink odor come into our mind. However , here, and only in Japan, the manhole cover is joint with painting and artistic design and becomes a beautiful scenery. While street art usually has its essence of illegalness and resistance (Millner, 2017), Japanese manhole covers are supported by all parties——the government, artistes, local citizens, and tourists. -------------------------------------------------...
