Kamo River
The river runs north to south just west of the campus. Its long, gently curving course and many bridges form one of the clearest lines on the poster.

The campus
The main campus of Kyoto University lies in the Yoshida area of northeastern Kyoto, where the city's regular streets meet the foot of the eastern hills. From above, the campus appears as a set of large blocks divided by straight roads. The Kamo River runs north to south a short distance to the west, and the slopes of Yoshida-yama and Higashiyama rise to the east.
Founded in 1897 as Kyoto Imperial University, it was the second of Japan's imperial universities. It has produced several Nobel laureates, including Hideki Yukawa, the first Japanese winner. The campus clock tower, completed in the 1920s, is its best-known building, and the Philosopher's Path runs beside a canal not far to the east.
A Kyoto University map poster captures the meeting of two landscapes: the orderly city streets to the west and the irregular contours of the hills to the east. The Kamo River draws a long vertical line across the frame, and the campus blocks sit between river and hills in a quiet, balanced composition.
The river runs north to south just west of the campus. Its long, gently curving course and many bridges form one of the clearest lines on the poster.
The small wooded hill just east of the campus interrupts the street pattern and appears on the map as an irregular island of paths and green space.
The main gate and clock tower building face west along a straight approach. They anchor the central block of the campus within the surrounding grid of roads.

Why Kyoto University
Kyoto University graduates carry the city with them, from bicycle rides along the Kamo to evenings in the Yoshida neighbourhood. A map poster makes that part of Kyoto a quiet reminder for a study, a lab or a first apartment.
