The map
Katsuren-haebaru lies on the eastern side of Okinawa Island, within the city of Uruma, near the base of the Katsuren Peninsula. The land here is narrow and low, so the sea is never far from any street. On the map, the built-up area forms an irregular patch of residential blocks and farmland, bordered by coastline, small harbours and the shallow waters of the surrounding bays.
The peninsula is known for Katsuren Castle, a hilltop gusuku whose ruins are part of the UNESCO-listed sites of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Its stone walls follow the contours of a limestone ridge, a shape that stands out among the gentler lines of the surrounding streets. A Katsuren-haebaru map poster places the town within this wider coastal setting.
Further along the peninsula, the long causeway known as the Kaichu-doro crosses shallow water to link the main island with smaller islands offshore. From above, it appears as a thin straight line drawn across the sea, one of the most distinctive features on any map of the area and a clear sign of how closely life here is tied to the water.
The ruins of a Ryukyu-era castle crown a limestone ridge on the peninsula, their curved terraces following the natural rise of the land above the surrounding coast.
The Kaichu-doro runs across shallow water from the peninsula toward offshore islands, a long straight road that looks almost unreal on a map surrounded by open sea.
Small harbours, inlets and reclaimed ground shape the shoreline, giving the town an uneven outline where streets end abruptly at the water.

Why Katsuren-haebaru
Okinawa leaves a strong impression on people who have lived or served there, and the east coast around Uruma has a character of its own. A map of this stretch of shoreline, with its castle ridge and sea road, is a precise and understated way to remember it.
The title and subtitle can be rewritten with a name, a year or a unit, and the coordinates line can be kept or edited. Blueprint suits the surrounding sea especially well, while Classic black and white keeps the coastline sharp and clean.
