Hachioji Manhole Card Lot No. 012 The current design was adopted in 1987. It features the Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo, a nationally important intangible folk cultural property. Kuruma Ningyo is a local performing art that originated in the Tama region during the end of the Edo period. It involves a single puppeteer manipulating a puppet while seated on a box-shaped cart with three wheels called a "rokuro-guruma." The design depicts the dynamic dance of Sanbaso, a performance from the Kuruma Ningyo repertoire, with the hope that it will represent the future progress of the sewer project.
