Japan has found an artistic way of covering up manholes by elaborately designed and colorful manhole covers with 12,000 local varieties nationwide - including, of course, a Hello Kitty design.
The colorful and hand painted manhole covers adorn the streets of 1,700 towns, cities and villages across Japan and have spawned a collection craze among so-called "manholers".
The designs represent the culture of the place and act as an instant guide: a castle design for an ancient town, a bay bridge for a port and Mt Fuji for a city at the foot of Japan's iconic mountain.
