The map
Tatsuno-kita lies in Nara Prefecture on the western side of the Nara Basin, where the flat valley floor starts to rise toward the hills that separate Nara from Osaka. On a map it appears as a residential area of closely spaced streets. Newer housing developments sit among older village roads and patches of farmland.
The rivers that cross the basin come together in this western corner before the Yamato River leaves Nara through a gap in the hills. Channels and small streams are part of the landscape around the district as a result. Where development climbs the lower slopes, the terrain adds gentle curves to the street pattern.
Hōryū-ji lies within a few kilometres. It is one of the oldest wooden temple complexes in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a reminder of how far back the history of this area goes. A Tatsuno-kita map poster shows the quieter everyday side of the region: residential lanes, fields and hills drawn in fine, orderly lines.
Closely spaced streets fill the built-up area. They mix the regular layouts of newer housing with the older, more irregular paths of village roads.
Low wooded hills rise along the western side of the basin, and the street network curves and thins out as it meets their slopes.
Streams and channels crossing the western Nara Basin converge nearby toward the Yamato River. They add fine lines of water to the quiet texture of the map.
