Akiyoshidai plateau
A broad karst upland with few roads and almost no buildings. On the map it becomes a calm open field surrounded by the denser valley settlements.

Tabula
Mine sits in the western interior of Yamaguchi Prefecture, and from above it does not read as one compact town. It reads as a set of valleys. Roads follow the low ground between wooded ridges, small centres gather where the valleys widen, and rice fields fill the flat floors between them. The pattern is spread out rather than dense, closer to a region than a single street grid.
The best-known part of the city is Akiyoshidai, a karst plateau of grassland marked by limestone outcrops and sinkholes. Beneath it runs Akiyoshido, one of the largest limestone caves in Japan. The city took its current form in 2008, when Mine merged with the neighbouring towns of Shuho and Mito, so the map joins several older centres, each with its own cluster of streets.
A Mine map poster turns that loose arrangement into a composition. The linework picks up the roads that thread through the valleys and the sparse lines crossing the upland, leaving the plateau as a quiet open area. In black and white the contrast between gathered settlement and empty karst becomes the main subject, which suits a place defined as much by its land as by its buildings.
A broad karst upland with few roads and almost no buildings. On the map it becomes a calm open field surrounded by the denser valley settlements.
Routes run along the low ground between ridges, linking the former town centres. Their curves follow the terrain rather than any planned grid.
Since the 2008 merger the city includes several separate clusters of streets. Seen together, they give the map a scattered, many-centred rhythm.

Cur Mine
For people from Mine, or visitors who came for the plateau and the cave, the map keeps a place that is hard to photograph in one frame. It shows the whole spread of valleys at once, the way you only understand it after driving between them.
You can personalise the title and subtitle, add a date to the coordinates line, and choose one of five styles: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper and Sand suit the pastoral mood especially well.
