About this Kitakami map poster
Kitakami lies in the long valley of the Kitakami River in Iwate Prefecture, between the Ōu Mountains to the west and the Kitakami highlands to the east. The city centre sits near the point where the Waga River joins the main river, so the map shows two waterways meeting, crossed by bridges, with streets and rice fields spreading across the valley floor.
The city is best known in Japan for Tenshōchi Park, a riverside park whose long avenue of cherry trees makes it one of the most famous spring viewing sites in the Tōhoku region. Kitakami is also a transport and industrial hub, with a Shinkansen station and large industrial parks built along the expressway corridor.
A Kitakami map poster brings together the river confluence, the rail and road lines running along the valley, and the regular fields beyond the town. The wide water channels give the print strong forms, while the farmland adds a fine pattern at the edges.

Why Kitakami
A map that means something
Kitakami is a place of spring festivals, family roots and quiet valley landscapes. A map of the river meeting point makes a calm, personal piece for someone from Iwate or for anyone who has seen the cherry trees there.
