Drainspotting – Japan’s Beautiful Manhole Covers

November 14, 2010

I’m sure you’ve all seen a manhole cover. Heck, I have one within a few feet of our office door. It is a boring steel circle stamped with the name of the town. Things are a bit different in Japan. Manhoru (that’s the Japanese name for manholes) there can include really colorful designs on them. Remo Camerota has compiled a book called Drainspotting with photos of some of the best. I just wonder if any of them were designed in CorelDRAW?

Want to see a few examples? Check out this page at coolhunting.com. One of them even has some hot air balloons. Maybe that is a clue that it was designed in CorelDRAW.
