Valley roads
Instead of a grid, Mashiko's main roads follow the gaps between the hills, and buildings line them in long, uneven strips that branch into the countryside.

Mashiko Map Poster & Print
Mashiko lies in the southeast of Tochigi Prefecture, in countryside of low wooded hills and flat rice paddies. Seen from above, it does not have a central grid. Its roads follow the valleys, and houses and workshops cluster along them, with farmland filling the spaces between and forested slopes closing in from the edges.
The town is known across Japan for Mashiko ware, a sturdy folk pottery. In the twentieth century the potter Shoji Hamada settled here and helped make Mashiko a centre of the mingei folk-craft movement. Many kilns and studios are still in use, and the pottery fairs held in spring and autumn draw large crowds.
On paper, the kiln sites and studios are hard to tell apart from ordinary houses, but the way the settlement spreads along the hillsides says a lot about the craft. Climbing kilns need slopes, and the potters followed them. A Mashiko map poster records the landscape the craft grew from, in the same modest tone as the pottery.

Paddy field pattern
Flat rice fields fill the valley floors in small rectangular plots, giving the lower ground a fine, regular texture that contrasts with the wooded slopes.
Kiln hillsides
Studios and workshops are spread along the hill edges where the ground rises, the kind of slope traditionally needed for the town's climbing kilns.

Cur Mashiko
Tabula quae aliquid significat
Collectors of Mashiko ware and visitors to the pottery fairs often want a reminder of the place the pieces came from. A map of its hills and fields sits naturally beside a shelf of ceramics.
Add a title and subtitle, such as the year of your visit or the name of a studio, and adjust the coordinates line. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Paper and Sand suit the earthy subject.
