While looking around and up is what you mostly do on holidays, in Japan it is good to keep a weatther-eye out for each city’s emblematic manhole covers.  Here is a set from Kyushu,  Fukuoka’s take of cherry blossom, the lovely town of Imari’s what I surmise is Pawlonia leaf and flower, and at the bottom Kagoshima’s enigmatic graphic statement, on which I am still pondering.  This post is one in a series - and as readers might have noticed,  I love things in sets.  More to come.
