The Japanese and their Things of Beauty


I am always amazed at the beauty I have found in Japan. Even on the ground, the Manhole covers have a wonderful beauty and design sense that can only be truly Japanese.

Each different design is from a different area. As I so love things of metal, I was really inspired by these! Wouldn't they make beautiful stepping stones in the garden, or better still, a path to the studio...



The next post will be on the Emperor's Garden ...You should see the manhole covers aroud near the Palace...



Isn't it just wonderful that something we usually step on without thinking, is a thing of beauty in Japan.
