Pink Tentacle has  an odd, but wonderful collection of photos by photographer Sato Jun Ichi of…..the architecture of Japan’s flood control infrastructure. Never would have thought such a thing could be so interesting. The above photo is from Saitama.

This one was taken in Miyagi. Apparently Sato has been at this for 10 years. He has a massive collection of some 600 photos here. He’s also got a nice coffee table book you can buy at Amazon.

    That thing (observation deck?) in Saitama looks like one of the busses they use at the airport in Mexico City to shuttle you from the plane to the gate.
