City poster
Kyoto map poster
A thousand-year-old grid between the mountains and the Kamo.
Kyoto was laid out on a Chinese model in 794 and the grid still holds, bounded by hills on three sides and threaded by the Kamo River.
Shown here in the Japanese Ink theme. Japanese Ink keeps the streets to grey brushstrokes with one accent of vermilion. This preview is a live map: in the studio you can drag it to frame the exact area you want, switch between 30 hand-tuned themes, set your own caption, and download it at print resolution.
What to frame
- ·Gion machiya lanes along the Shirakawa
- ·Arashiyama where the grid gives up and the bamboo begins
