The map
About this Katano map poster
Katano lies in the north-east of Osaka Prefecture, where the Osaka Plain meets the wooded hills of the Ikoma range. From above, the western half of the town is a close, fine-grained pattern of residential streets and railway lines, while the eastern half rises into forest, with roads narrowing and bending into the valleys.
The Amanogawa, whose name means Milky Way, runs through Katano, and the town has long been associated with the Tanabata legend of two star-crossed lovers. In the hills, Hoshida Park has a long pedestrian suspension bridge called Hoshi no Buranko, the swing of the stars, stretched above the forest. The Keihan Katano Line serves the town and gives it a clear railway spine.
A Katano map poster shows a town caught between two landscapes. The dense grid of the plain, the river threading through it and the sudden softening of the lines as the hills begin all come through clearly. It is a quietly poetic map for a town with a star in its river's name.

Into the Ikoma hills
To the east, the street grid gives way to forested slopes. Roads become fewer and more winding, and the map lightens as it reaches the hills.
Hoshida Park
In the hills sits Hoshida Park, known for its long suspension footbridge above the trees. On the map it appears as an open, green area at the edge of the town.

Why Katano
A map that means something
Katano's link to the Tanabata story makes its map a gentle gift for couples, as well as a reminder of home for anyone who grew up between the river and the hills. It looks calm and considered on the wall.
