In pariete



Tabula
Yamatokōriyama lies on the flat floor of the Nara Basin, just southwest of Nara city. Its centre is a former castle town, and on the map the castle site shows as a compact area of moats and stone-walled enclosures. Around it, narrow merchant streets and old districts wind in a close, irregular pattern, while newer housing spreads outward across the plain.
The town is famous across Japan for goldfish. Farmers have bred goldfish here since the Edo period, and many shallow rectangular breeding ponds still dot the outskirts. The town hosts a national goldfish-scooping championship, and the fish appear on everything from street decorations to local souvenirs.
A Yamatokōriyama map poster shows these layers together. In the middle sit the castle site and its moats. Around them run the small streets of the historic town, crossed by two railway lines that pass through the centre. At the edges, the grid of ponds and paddy fields creates a pattern of small rectangles that you will not find in most cities.

Many rectangular breeding ponds fill the edges of town. From above they look like a fine patchwork and reflect a tradition that goes back centuries.
Two railway lines cross the town, each with its own station. Their long straight tracks cut through the older, more irregular streets of the centre.

Cur Yamatokōriyama
The map suits anyone with ties to Nara prefecture, collectors of Japanese town plans and people who have visited the goldfish ponds and the castle. Its mix of moats, lanes and ponds makes a calm, detailed piece for a study or tatami room.
