The map

About this Kazo map poster

Kazo is a city in northeastern Saitama Prefecture, on the flat Kantō Plain. Its current boundaries date from a 2010 merger with Kisai, Kitakawabe and Ōtone, and together they cover a wide area of farmland. The Tone River, one of Japan's largest rivers, forms the northern border, and its embankments show as long raised lines.

At the far northern end lies the Watarase retarding basin, a huge wetland built to hold floodwater, close to where four prefectures meet. On a map it is a broad, soft area of reed beds and water, larger than much of the town itself.

Kazo is known for its giant carp streamers, among the largest ever made, flown each spring. A Kazo map poster sets the town's modest street grids among rice paddies, rivers and embankments, and shows a rural side of the Tokyo region that many people never see.

01

Tone River

The broad river and its high embankments run along the city's northern edge, forming a strong horizontal line across the poster.

02

Watarase basin

A vast flood-control wetland at the north end, where reed beds and water create a large, soft, unbuilt area on the map.

03

Rice field plain

Across the flat land, paddies divided by straight channels surround the town centres in a calm, regular pattern.

Why Kazo

A map that means something

Kazo is for people who know the plain from the inside: the embankment walks, the carp streamers each spring and the train back from Tokyo. For them it is a map of home, drawn cleanly.

Set a title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps a family name or a year, and choose one of five styles, including Noir and Blueprint. Buy the $9 digital files, or order a matte print with an optional wooden frame.
