About Nara
Surrounded by rolling mountains and ancient forests, Nara has a gentler rhythm than many of Japan's larger cities. It's a place where quiet streets lead to centuries-old temples, deer wander freely through expansive parks and every season brings a different palette of colour. This vintage map reflects that same sense of warmth, offering a glimpse into one of Japan's most treasured regions while celebrating the beauty of traditional Japanese cartography.
Story:
Every now and then we come across a piece that stops us in our tracks, and this was one of them. Among shelves of black-and-white maps and faded documents, its rich colours immediately stood apart. We couldn't leave Japan without it.
There's something wonderfully optimistic about this map. The vibrant palette, delicate typography and beautifully aged paper feel both nostalgic and timeless. Carefully brought back to Australia and professionally framed in Sydney, it's now ready for a new chapter as a one-of-a-kind piece of Japanese wall art.
