I think no one doubts that in Japan everything is approached with enthusiasm and imagination? And the Japanese always want to show how creative and skillful they are! So once again we learn that they are even interested in sewer hatches. About painted gutters we have already told, now it is the turn of the hatches!
It would seem, is it possible to make sewer hatches cute and bright? It is unlikely, because they are still not created in order to decorate them or decorate them in any other way. However, this is not the case in Japan. Interestingly, from the practical point of view, this is very useful - not only do the streets become brighter, but also the hatches themselves are easier to notice. Not that it matters that much, but on the road, for example, it is better for the driver to know where the hatch is. Although these are all just trifles, the very fact that people are doing something, where they are investing their strength and talent, is much more important. But drawing on the hatches is not so easy, the surface is embossed.
And here is the surprise - not only is something drawn on the hatches, there is also the drawing itself engraved! It's not just called street art, because you can learn something interesting from the hatches. Although in the photographs presented we see only images of flowers, buildings and cartoon characters, but this is only part of the photographs. I think there are many more interesting things to see on the other hatches!
The main thing is that people do not paint violence and vulgarity, but things that are pleasing to the eye.

Painted graffiti on painted walls. Creativity Jessica Hess (Jessica Hess)
Whatever one may say, and no matter how talented, original, unusual the graffiti on the walls, pillars and fences are, they still continue to be considered vandalism, hooliganism, albeit with the prefix "art", and from time to time they chase street art masters for damage public property. But the most ardent adherents of this art form stubbornly continue to decorate city real estate with their arts, and the most cautious and unusually thinking paint graffiti on … painted walls.
