The map

About this Tainai map poster

Tainai spreads across the northern part of the Niigata plain, one of Japan's great rice-growing areas. On the map, flat paddy land fills most of the lowland, divided into precise rectangles, with the town centre forming a denser cluster along the rail line and main roads. Rivers run from the mountains west toward the Sea of Japan.

The city in its present form was created in 2005 by merging the towns of Nakajo and Kurokawa. Its territory extends well inland, rising into the forested Iide range, so the map moves from dense town streets to open farmland and then to steep, empty uplands with valley roads.

A Tainai map poster makes the most of that range. The rice-field grid gives the lowland a fine, regular texture, the rivers add long curving lines, and the town centre sits within them as a compact knot of streets.

01

Paddy-field grid

Around the town, rice fields form a precise grid of small rectangles. On the poster they read as a delicate, even pattern that fills the lowland around the streets.

02

Rivers to the sea

Rivers flow out of the mountains and across the plain toward the Sea of Japan. Their curving courses break up the straight field lines and guide the eye across the map.

03

Town centre cluster

The main built-up area gathers along the railway and main roads. It forms a denser knot of streets, distinct from the surrounding farmland.

Why Tainai

A map that means something

Tainai is a place of rice, rivers and mountains, and its map captures all three. For someone with roots in Niigata or memories of a stay there, it is a quiet, distinctive picture of a lesser-known part of Japan.

Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The $9 digital files cover six sizes including A3, A2 and 24×36″, and printed matte posters are available with an optional wooden frame.
