A white heron flying over a field of white orchids is definitely a manhole cover from Himeji... Because the white heron is the symbol bird of the city, and the Himeji flower symbol is
Pecteilis radiata, a species of orchid which, since it is considered to look like a heron, is called in Japanese
sagi-so, "heron grass".
Also, the Himeji Castle is known as
Shirasagi-jō, the "White Heron Castle", because it is said that it looks like a white bird with open wings.
