When is a map not just a map? When it's an antique hand-drawn ordinance map made from meticulously pieced washi paper. In a world of digital mapping this land distribution map of a village in Iwate, Japan, will bring joy to those who appreciate the restrained beauty of architectural plans, blueprints, and original historical drawings. 

 

These maps are over 100 years old and have been folded and refolded many times. They each show individual signs of wear, but the colours and draftsmanship have stood the test of time and would look spectacular framed. 


material : washi paper

This antique piece has lived for many years in Japan and bears the gentle patina of time. Please expect some minor surface marks or fading, and see the photos for a clear indication of condition.
