The map

About this Kikuchi map poster

Kikuchi is a city in the north of Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, on the plain of the Kikuchi River where it leaves the hills west of the Aso caldera. On a map the built-up area is fairly compact, with streets gathered along the river and the main roads. A patchwork of rice fields and small settlements spreads across the flat land around it.

The town is known for Kikuchi Onsen, a hot spring area close to the centre, and for Kikuchi Gorge upstream. The gorge is a forested valley of clear streams and small waterfalls that draws visitors in summer and autumn. In the medieval period the area was the base of the Kikuchi clan, a powerful warrior family whose name it still carries.

A Kikuchi map poster shows a classic Japanese regional town: a dense core of narrow streets, a river running through it, and fields filling almost every flat space around it. It suits people who know the area from the hot springs or a walk in the gorge, or from years of living in Kumamoto.

01

The Kikuchi River

The river flows through the town and across the plain. Its soft, curving line ties the settlement to the surrounding landscape.

02

Onsen quarter

The hot spring area forms its own cluster of streets near the centre, a small but recognisable part of the town's layout.

03

Rice field patchwork

Around the town, the flat land is divided into small fields linked by narrow farm roads. This fine texture shows well at larger print sizes.

Why Kikuchi

A map that means something

Kikuchi is a place tied to the seasons, hot springs and family visits, and a quiet monochrome map fits that mood. It is a considered gift for someone who grew up in the Kumamoto countryside and now lives in a big city.

You can write the title, subtitle and coordinates line however you like, with a date or a family name. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, as $9 digital files or as a printed poster shipped from a partner in over 30 countries.
