The map
Anjō lies in the Nishimikawa area of central Aichi, on a broad, flat plain between Nagoya and Okazaki. From above, it is one of the most evenly textured maps in the region: a fine grid of residential streets and fields, broken up by rail lines, main roads and the long thin lines of irrigation canals. There are no dramatic hills or coastlines, which lets the pattern of the streets carry the design.
Much of that landscape owes its shape to the Meiji Yōsui, an irrigation canal completed in the late nineteenth century that turned dry upland into productive farmland. Anjō's cooperative, diversified farming in the early twentieth century earned it the nickname Japan's Denmark. Today the city is also closely tied to the automotive industry of the surrounding area, while keeping much of its agricultural ground.
An Anjō map poster shows a city where housing, factories and rice fields sit side by side in a close, regular mesh. The Tōkaidō main line and the Shinkansen cut straight lines across the plain, with Mikawa-Anjō station on the high-speed route. Canals thread through at gentle angles, and in black and white the overall effect is almost like a woven textile.
The historic irrigation canal and its branches run across the plain in long, fine lines, the backbone of the farmland that shaped Anjō's growth.
The Tōkaidō main line and the Shinkansen cross the city in straight, confident strokes, dividing the even grid of streets into clear sections.
Residential blocks and farmland alternate across the flat plain, so the map shows a steady, detailed texture with no single dominant centre.

Why Anjō
Anjō does not rely on landmarks for its character, and that is exactly why its map works so well as a print. The canals, grid and rail lines make a calm, detailed pattern that suits people who live and work here, or who grew up among its fields.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can be personalised for a home, a family or a date, and the design comes in five styles: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Order HD files or a printed poster.
