Cultural nic-naks

just a few treasures i picked up while in Japan:
decorative man-hole covers... they are all this nice. I wanted to do rubbings of each of them, but managed to resist; the bidet directions accompanied by the heated seats that also come equipped with personal sound machines for that added sense of privacy, and Taiko drumming (not nearly as kitchy, but truly moving and mind blowing.) I have bought a few genuine treasures too which I will photograph and post shortly.
