Kogei Map - Kinki
Get to know Japan through the landscape of its crafts. This is the first in a series of regional maps that stylistically highlight the craft centers of Japan.
We begin closest to home, in the Kinki region. Kinki holds within it the prefectures of Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hyōgo (home to Kobe), Shiga, and Wakayama. The map highlights the 10 most prevalent craft traditions and where you can discover them.
The poster is silk-screen printed on lightly textured washi paper with gold ink detailing. Use this map as decor, education, and inspiration for a deeper exploration of Japan; both on and off the beaten path, there’s a rich world of artisan culture to discover.
