Kawagoe Manhole Covers

For some reason unknown to me, Japan keeps their metal-works and craftsman busy making unique manhole covers. These ubiquitous metal covers are located all over every city covering underground fire hydrants, storm and sanitary sewers, communication junction boxes and underground electric junction boxes. I've taken many photos of these manholes in the past since unique designs are everywhere in Japan. Kawagoe is no exception, and I spotted several that were interesting.
