Saikū Map Poster & Print
Saikū lies in the town of Meiwa on the Ise plain in Mie Prefecture, between the rivers that flow down to Ise Bay. The map shows rice paddies divided into neat rectangles, village lanes following older routes and a railway line running across the flat land. The patterns are quiet and regular, with houses clustered along the roads.
The name comes from the Saikū, the palace of the Saiō. She was an imperial princess sent to serve at Ise Grand Shrine on the emperor's behalf, a tradition that lasted for centuries. Excavations have revealed a planned grid of palace grounds beneath the fields, and a history museum and a partial reconstruction now mark the site.
A Saikū map poster shows how the landscape carries the past in its layout. Rectangular paddies, the straight lines of the rebuilt palace blocks and the gentle curves of village roads all sit together. In Paper or Sand the rural geometry of the Ise plain reads especially softly.

Paddy patterns
Around the villages, rice fields form an even patchwork of rectangles. On the map they create a calm, repeating texture across the flat land.
Road to Ise
Routes across the plain lead towards Ise and its shrine. They recall the pilgrim traffic that has crossed this part of Mie for centuries.
