Park in the car park opposite the swimming pool. If the model trains are operating, have a ride before crossing the road and walking round the back of the swimming pool. Go to the back corner of the field and follow the Ribble way signs. Go past the houses and then the road turns into a track. There are allotments to the left and fields to the right. Enjoy walking past the horses, ducks and donkeys. Eventually come out in a field where the walk can go three ways. I like to follow the river path even when it's very muddy. On the other side of the river stands the majestic Waddow Hall. I usually turn round at this point but you can go much further following the signs along the river path.

Lago Enriquillo (Enriquillo Lake), located in the southwest of the Dominican Republic, is the largest lake in the Caribbean, with a surface covering over 350 square kilometers (135 square miles),  and also the region’s sole body of water located more than 43 meters (140 feet) below sea level. It was named after Enriquillo, the first Taino chief who successfully revolted against Spanish colonialists. The lake and its surrounding lands are very rich in biodiversity and are ideal for wildlife watching and nature exploration. On the way to the lake from Paraíso in the Province of Barahona, there are many beautiful places beaches, rivers, lagoons, forests, and fauna as well as curious places like the Magnetic Pole and historic places like the Indigenous' Caritas, a cave containing petroglyphs across the walls, faces (caritas) suggesting the presence of Tainos thousands of years ago.

Black lives matter is now a movement around the world, mainly in the United States. It shouldn't be considered a "fire on the other side of the river"(Japanese way of saying "none of our business"). However, I also feel that it hasn't quite hit people living in Japan because there are fewer inspirations or triggers that made us take action. But we can start thinking about what we can do and improving the world to be a better place. This is a map that depicts 1.3km from Nijo St. to Shijo St. in the Kamogawa river area in Kyoto. On the Westside, I wrote the lyrics for The Beatles "Blackbird." On the Eastside, I wrote the full speech of "I have a dream" by Martin Luther King Jr. that was given on the steps of Lincoln Memorial in 1963. You will find the song and the audio of the speech in the Pins. During the process of making this map, I measured the distance of the length where the march took place, which is from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, to apply the same range to Kyoto. By walking through this section using the map, you can experience how people felt during the march 57 years ago. Paul MacCartney stated that the "Blackbird" of the Beatles was made for black women simultaneously (in 1968). Let's take our time, feel March on Washington, and think about the movement that is happening now. I hope Kyoto will continue to be a place where diverse values, cultures, and races meet forever.

This detailed map illustrates the town layout between Fukuro River and the outer moat, specifically focusing on the area east of the Chizu Kaido (upstream of Fukuro River). The map depicts 16 town areas of merchant quarters, with temple quarters (marked in red) situated on the eastern side. Additionally, it shows the residences assigned to samurai households (in yellow) along Fukuro River and scattered within the merchant quarters, which formed part of the overall fortifications.

Each merchant quarter records the frontage and depth of each property and the name of the owner. It is believed that this information on land ownership was documented to calculate town taxes based on frontage and depth, as well as to determine the required payments for the "juubun-ichigin" (a tax equivalent to one-tenth of the property's selling price upon sale). Therefore, this map does not provide information on current residents.

The map also contains pasted notes indicating changes in ownership, with the latest being in the second year of the Meiji era (1869). This suggests that the map was used for an extended period by town councils and other entities for land management purposes.

In total, there are six sheets of this detailed map depicting the entire castle town’s merchant quarters. The layout comprises sections labeled as Kawauchiue, Kawauchishita, Ezaki/Ue Machi/Tachikawa, Kawagaiue, Kawagaishita, and Shinhinaji.

A map of my hometown, Uzice, showing some of the interesting buildings there. I wanted to show the diversity of architecture, ranging from very traditional, oriental buildings up to Yugoslavian brutalism. And we have funny names for all those buildings! Even the MoMa museum had an exhibition and our Hotel was one of the exhibited pieces. We have a Hydropower plant, which is the first electrical plant made according to Tesla's principles of an alternating current in Europe and second in the world, only five years after the first of its kind on the river Niagara in America. Also I've put only one food illustration, our traditional dish called 'Komplet lepinja" that can be only bought in Uzice, and that is one of the things that the Uzice is known for. I hope that this map would spark an interest in you that you find out more about this city.

Shukan Magari, which looks like a castle from outside of the building.
We can share foods and drinks with anyone from different culture.

This place is special to me because it has opened me the doors to the world of whales and has given me inspiration, good friends, illustration projects, work, contacts, relax, adventures and even an art exhibition at the Húsavík Whale Museum! Every time I’m there, I feel like being home and there is always something good to do! Go see the whales, relax at the sea baths looking at the bay, get inspired by the mountains, a coffee or a tasty lobster soup, explore the town museums, walk around the harbor or near the river, or just breathe and feel that you exist! This is my heart’s home, a place where I’ve always belonged to.

Kamogawa is a representative river in Kyoto. A few years ago, the promenade was improved radically, and it became very convenient for traveling north and south by bicycle. Here is my recommended cycling course! Join me and contribute to the realization of a Carbon-Free Society!

Kerala, located in the south of India, is a land of rich green paddies, rivers and lagoons. It's often termed as " God's Own Country". The coastal plain is bordered on the east by a range of mountains in which spices such as pepper, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom are grown for export. And this has attracted traders from all over the world. Fort Kochi is one such town in Kerala, which was ruled by the Portuguese from 1503 to 1682, followed by the Dutch till 1795, and then the British until the year India became independent. It is also home to the oldest European church in India which housed the gravestone of the explorer Vasco da Gama. The Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the largest art exhibition in India and the biggest contemporary art festival in Asia is held in this little heritage town.This is a heritage map taking you on a trail through the various historic structures, hidden cafes, boutique hotels and stores and the main streets of the city.

A map of the koala territories that I know of along the Murray River at Cobram & Barooga. I grew up on the banks of the Murray River in Corowa (just upstream from this map), but there was no koala population there. Since moving back to the area, it has been wonderful to find that the koalas are returning thanks to a very successful relocation and breeding program. I hope that this map will inspire people to visit our beautiful part of the world.

Richmond upon Thames is like a village within London. I live nearby and regularly walk my dog in Richmond Park and along the river (that's me and him on the map!) The novelty of having deer roaming free so close to central London never wears off. If you walk into Richmond from the park you'll find real cows grazing on Petersham Meadows and stunning views of the River Thames. There is something interesting to see every step of the way, from beautiful buildings, lovely cafés and restaurants, interesting little independent shops in The Lanes, as well as two theatres and a cricket green. You can while away the day watching boats go past on the river. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting London!!

The Tokugawa Shogunate ordered Feudal Clans to prepare the Shoho Shiro Ezu (map of castle town) in the first year of Shoho (1644). These illustrated maps include military information such as buildings in castle compounds, height of stone walls, width and depth of moats, as well as plans of castle towns, location and features of mountains and rivers are shown precisely and accurately. Each clan submitted the Ezu within several years after received order from the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Shogunate kept these Ezu in Momijiyama Bunko (library). Inventory books of the library recorded 131 Ezu in "Enlarged Official Inventory Book" at the end of Edo period. Presently, National Archives of Japan has 63 shoho Shiro Ezu. These Ezu are designated as National Important Cutural Properties in the 61st year of Showa (1986).
