About this Aira map poster
Aira stretches along the innermost shore of Kagoshima Bay, the northern end of the bay that holds Sakurajima. On the map the coastline forms a smooth southern edge, the main town and rail line follow the flat land behind it, and rivers descend from the hills to the north through valleys filled with farmland and smaller settlements.
The present city was formed in 2010 by merging the towns of Kajiki, Aira and Kamo. The northern part of the bay is the Aira Caldera, a large volcanic depression named after the area. In Kamo, the great camphor tree at Kamo Hachiman shrine is considered the largest tree in Japan and is protected as a Special Natural Monument.
An Aira map poster combines coast and countryside in one frame. The curve of the bay and the open water give the lower part of the print a calm expanse, while the upper part fills with branching valleys and small roads. It is a quieter composition than central Kagoshima, and more varied.

Why Aira
A map that means something
Aira appeals to people with family in Kagoshima, to those who have watched Sakurajima from its shore, and to anyone who likes maps where a coastline and a landscape share the frame. The bay gives the print an open, restful balance.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with a family name or one of the former town names, and pick from Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Printed posters can be ordered on matte paper with an optional wooden frame.
