Japanese Fire Engines

I recently came across this unusual draincover up near Oda City. There is a kind of primitive, folk-art aspect to it.

Up in Yasaka in the mountains south of Hamada they must have big, modern fire trucks...

As of course they do in Osaka....

At Soja in Okayama the firefighter doesnt look too happy,.... but then why would you if you were fighting a fire...

and last, no fire truck, just firefighters, in Takamatsu on Shikoku...
