A Kickstarter Campaign to Check Out: Japanese Manhole Cover T-Shirts

There are many different ways that artists and cities can work together to decorate their cities, but it seems like cities in Japan have come up with one solution that is as unexpected as it is creative and beautiful – decorated manhole covers.

Each city takes pride in its manhole cover design, which can display anything from municipal symbols and local landscapes to abstract patterns or illustrations of local legends.

If you guys love the Japanese manhole cover designs then you'll definitely love these T-shirts. This Kickstarter was started by Kevin and Steven, founders of 47Regions, they are passionate about all things Japanese including the culture, history, art, and of course the food.

This campaign is looking to make T-shirts that feature different manhole designs from the 47 prefectures of Japan. From their prototype, the designs are very vibrant in colors and are unique. All the T-shirts will be hand printed by them in Tokyo and with this campaign, they are working towards producing these T-shirts on a larger scale! In just 10 days, the campaign is already 40% funded.

Visit 47Regions's Kickstarter page to learn more and show your support. A pledge of $32 will get you both a T-shirt and a card when it ships this March 2018.
