City poster

Nara map poster

A first capital, with a park of temples at its edge.

Nara's old grid still shows under the later town, with Nara Park and Todai-ji as a vast green block to the east and the old streets of Naramachi to the south.

Shown here in the Japanese Ink theme. Japanese Ink is the colour of the temple roofs and the deer park. 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.
