Ancient Monolithic chamber..? No, Japan’s Storm Water Drain


Recently I have been so captivated by Japan design.. I think I’m turning Japanese (I really think so.) Much to do with the fact I will be visiting the land of godzilla and vending machines in a few short months.

In my constant internet travels I came across these amazing images of Japan’s Storm drains over at ‘Underground’

The drains resemble something from another century (or something alien a little more alien perhaps)
