Story:
One of our favourite parts of travelling through Japan is discovering pieces with a story to tell. Tucked away in antique markets and second-hand bookshops throughout Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka, we uncovered a collection of original vintage maps and prints, each chosen for its character, rich colours or the beautiful signs of age that make it entirely unique. After carefully bringing them back to Australia, every piece was professionally framed in Sydney in a solid Tasmanian Oak frame, ready for a new home.

This original 1948 map of Japan's Tokai and Hokuriku regions immediately caught our eye. Having spent time exploring this part of Japan ourselves, we were drawn to the way it captures the landscape and history of the region in a single moment. Full of character and authentic patina, it is a truly one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates both Japan's past and the enduring beauty of vintage paper.

Origin
Japan
From craggy mountains and undulating green tea plains to verdant forests and azure waters, the Tokai and Hokuriku Shinetsu regions’ diverse topographies offer an outdoor escape for all. The prefectures that make up these areas—Mie, Gifu, Aichi, Shizuoka and Yamanashi in Tokai, and Fukui, Ishikawa, Toyama, Nagano and Niigata in Hokuriku Shinetsu—are all resplendent in the seasonal, natural beauty that Japan is famous for.
