Since the sakura cherry blossoms are among the most powerful Japanese symbols, there’s no wonder that they are being used in all forms of art. And given Japan’s unique artistic manhole covers, the cherry blossoms cannot be missing either… Especially in prefectures having sakura as a symbol, such as Nara. Here is one of these beautiful manhole covers, featuring cherry blossoms and another local symbol, the delicate Nara deer.
