In pariete



Tabula
Hidaka lies in western Saitama, where the flat Kantō Plain meets the first ridges of the Chichibu mountains. The Koma River winds through the city in a series of tight bends, and houses, rice fields and small woods follow its course. To the north and west the land rises into forested hills, so the map has a clear division between settled lowland and a more open, contoured upland.
The best-known spot is Kinchakuda, a bend of the Koma River so rounded that it resembles a drawstring purse, which is what its name refers to. Each autumn the woodland along the bank fills with millions of red spider lilies, drawing large numbers of visitors. On the map the loop is striking even without the flowers: a near-circle of water enclosing fields.
Hidaka also holds Koma Shrine, associated with settlers from the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo who established Koma District here in the eighth century. A Hidaka map poster shows how the city stretches along its river between Hannō and Tsurugashima, a pattern of lanes, rail lines and valleys that rewards a close look.
The Koma River curls into an almost closed loop here, creating one of the most distinctive shapes in the city and an easy point of focus for a poster.
The river crosses Hidaka in a sequence of meanders, and roads, rail lines and settlements all bend with it, drawing the eye across the sheet from west to east.
Along the northern and western edges, hills rise toward the Chichibu range, and winding roads and fewer buildings leave calmer, more open areas on the map.

Cur Hidaka
Hidaka appeals to people who value its mix of town and countryside, and to anyone who has walked the river in autumn. A map of it is less about famous buildings than about the shape of a valley that people remember well.
