Sidewalk and Road Details

There was a great variety of shapes, signs, designs, and illustrations on the roads and sidewalks in Japan. The photo above looks to me like Lego minifigs, though I think it must be a water point for firemen to use. The shot below is a repeating pattern of a pig illustration.

Incidentally, Charlie took many photos in Japan, too, which includes several of sidewalk and road details in his post Exploring Sensoji Temple, lively Shibuya.
