I just got back to Umenomoto after a 2 day trip to the Uwajima area of Sukoku Island. As that's where they have bull fights (bull against bull), this is one of their manhole cover designs.

Alas my camera died and this is one of the last pictures I took with it. But all is not lost, there was a camera store on the corner and I bought a new one. Alas the operating manual is in Japanese. But all is not lost, I figured I could go on line and download an English O&M manual. Alas, they don't sell this model camera outside of Japan. But all is not lost, I found another model's O&M manual that has similar features and controls. So! after 45 minutes of teaching my new camera to speak English, I'm back in business!

Oh yea, the manhole cover; I'd tell you more about it but I've run out of space here. -grin-

During the Edo era, and still today, Many go to Isa to visit the Jingu, Shinto shrines that many consider to be the spiritual home of the Japanese people.

Senroika is about half way between Kyoto and Osaka.

They're especially proud of 'Expo 70', and the center piece in this manhole cover depicts a statue, a monument, of the sun in this, the land of the rising sun.

Said statue is the first thing you see upon entering the expo70 grounds.

The manhole covers often reflect what the folks think is special about their town. In Osaka, Osaka castle is high on the list.
