The map
Murakami lies in the far north of Niigata Prefecture, between the Sea of Japan and the mountains along the border with Yamagata. The old centre is a former castle town, and its plan still shows the split between samurai quarters and merchant streets below Gagyu-san, the wooded hill where the castle stood. Stone walls still stand on the summit.
The Miomote River runs past the town to the sea and has shaped local life for centuries. Murakami is known for its salmon culture, including a long tradition of looking after the returning fish, and for salmon hung to dry under the eaves of houses. The town is also often described as the northern limit of commercial tea growing in Japan.
A Murakami map poster brings these elements together in one clear frame. The rounded castle hill, the tight grid of the old town, the river curving toward the coast and the straight shoreline give the composition a natural balance between streets and open landscape.
The wooded hill where Murakami Castle stood rises directly behind the old town, and the stone walls on its summit make a quiet, rounded focal point on the map.
Narrow merchant streets and former samurai quarters keep the layout of the castle town, a tight grid that contrasts with the open fields beyond.
The river famous for its salmon runs past the town to the Sea of Japan, a broad curve that leads the eye from the hills to the coast.

Why Murakami
People come to Murakami for its salmon, its tea, the hot springs on its coast and its castle hill, and many return year after year. A map of the old town and the river is a lasting reminder of this northern corner of Niigata.
