A Land of Narrow Paths posted:

A Land of Narrow Paths is a cartographic art and research project dedicated to bringing Edo period Japan to life for an English-speaking audience. The map includes period-specific locales, thoroughfares, shrines, temples, landmarks, and geographical features. The landscapes are drawn digitally, but the backgrounds and textures are created from handmade mokuhanga (woodblock prints) and washi (Japanese paper). Atop it all are hand-calligraphed, English-language labels.
