Hills to the east
Along the eastern side, the flat grid meets forested slopes. The printed streets thin out into a few winding roads, which gives the composition a clear edge.

The map
About this Sabae map poster
Sabae sits on the broad, level floor of the Fukui plain, and from above its streets form a tight, practical mesh of rice fields, factories and houses. A north–south rail line and a main road run through the middle of town. The ground stays flat until the eastern edge, where the streets stop against low wooded hills and the grid comes apart into winding lanes.
The city is best known for eyeglasses. Most of the spectacle frames made in Japan come from workshops in and around Sabae, a trade that began here in the early twentieth century as winter work for farming families. On a map this industry doesn't stand out. It is spread through small buildings scattered across the residential blocks, not grouped into one large industrial zone.
A Sabae map poster shows how evenly the town is laid out: rail line, river, a band of green hills and the careful pattern of plots between them. Nishiyama Park, on a hillside near the centre and known for its spring azaleas, shows up as a soft irregular shape among the straight lines of the streets around it.

Nishiyama Park
A hillside park close to the town centre, known for its azaleas. On the map it is an organic green shape surrounded by the regular blocks of the neighbourhoods below.
Rail spine
The rail line runs north to south through the plain and splits the city into two halves. Streets branch off it at regular intervals, like teeth on a comb.

Why Sabae
A map that means something
For people from Sabae, and for anyone who has worn a frame made here, the map ties a small everyday object to the plain where it was made. The layout is quiet and orderly, and it suits a hallway or a study.
You can change the title, subtitle and coordinates line to mark a date or a family name. Choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD files for $9 or order a matte print, with an optional wooden frame.
