The map
Kurume lies on the Chikugo Plain in southern Fukuoka Prefecture, the largest plain on Kyushu. The Chikugo River, the island's longest, sweeps past the northern and western sides of the city in wide bends, its floodplain showing as a pale band of fields and embankments. The centre sits just south of the river, with streets arranged around two railway stations.
East of the centre the plain meets the Minō Mountains, and Mount Kōra, with its long-established shrine, forms the first high ground. From above, this gives the map a clear division: a flat, even pattern of neighbourhoods and farmland to the west, and a darker, forested edge to the east, where roads begin to curve with the contours of the slope.
Kurume grew as a castle town and later became an industrial centre; the tyre maker Bridgestone was founded here in the early 1930s. The city is also known for its azaleas and as one of the places where rich pork-bone ramen took shape. A Kurume map poster brings the river bends and the eastern ridge together in one balanced frame.
The river loops broadly around the city's northern side, with wide embankments and floodplain fields on either bank. Its curves are the strongest line on the map.
To the east, the forested slopes of Mount Kōra mark the edge of the plain. Winding roads and the grounds of the shrine contrast with the regular streets below.
The site of Kurume Castle stands beside the river, and the older streets near it keep the compact layout of a former castle town, distinct from the larger blocks built later.

Why Kurume
Kurume is a natural choice for people from Chikugo, for families connected to the city's industries, or for anyone who remembers its river and its hills. The contrast between flat plain and wooded ridge gives the print depth even in a simple black and white rendering.
