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.

One of our big plans for this year was attending a friend’s wedding in Sofia, Bulgaria. I honestly never though about visiting this country, but fell in love with it while planning our trip. We had flights and reservations ready since January, and we were looking for gigs or job interviews as we would like to eventually move to Europe. When the quarantine started in March, we thought it would be over by now. In May, we had no choice and had to cancel everything. We hope we can make it next year.

It depicts the urban area of Osaka at the time from a perspective looking northeast from above Osaka Bay in the southwest. The intricate network of moats and canals, along with the town layout of the water city Osaka, is rendered in detail, vividly recording the scene on the eve of the "Great Osaka" era, featuring both the old cityscape from the Edo period and modern architecture. At the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, visitors can experience this map enlarged approximately seven times as an illuminated floor display, allowing them to visually enjoy the city's historical transformation.

"Naniwa Meisho Hitori Annai" is an old map of Osaka published during the Tenpō era of the Edo period, in the year 1830. It depicts in detail the famous sites and town divisions of the time. By comparing it with a modern panoramic map of Osaka City, one can learn about the transitions from the Edo period to the Taishō period and up to the present day.

Traveling is not only with airplanes, traveling is everywhere, even online…
Recently I have been thinking of an amazing place amid the CORONA situation. 
The world is challenged with the CORONA virus. People are discouraged to go out and most people are already working from home and wearing mask is the new fashion. This is the new normal in 2020. Recently. while trapped at home,  I am thinking of a wonderful place to run away, where it is quiet, peaceful and safe. 
Wonderful travel destinations around LADAKH in North India, Tibet, Himalayas, Pamir, etc.
These places are very challenging to visit. 
I watched the movie ‘3 Idiots’ and I am captivated with a scenery at the last scene of the movie. 
It was a scenery of LADAKH that features its beautiful lake Tso Moriri. 
LADAKH is also said to be the intersection of the ancient Silk Road and Tea Horse Road.
I get so interested in this place that  I did my  research and watched a Korean documentary called “Tea Horse Road”. 
This is a difficult route for merchants who traded at the highest points in the world from the 7th century to the 20th century. This not a typical road, it is so narrow and dangerous  that it said  to be the route that only birds and rats can pass. 

After searching the internet, I wanted to draw a map and share it with you.

This is a video link to share my experience.
If you are interested, you may also look for more videos available on Youtube.

In Japan, the declaration of emergency has been lifted, and gradually some museums are reopened, but it is not still the same as before the pandemic.
This map supports your cultural activities by taking you museums in Japan and worldwide!

Museum Hopping Map

A very interesting 1853 (Kaei 6) Japanese world map by Suido Nakajima. Presented on a cylindrical projection, this map marks a significant advancement in Japanese globular cartography and a far more sophisticated adaptation of western cartographic standards than is evidenced in most earlier Japanese world maps. No longer reliant on 17th century Dutch maps acquired via the Dutch East India Company’s (VOC) trade concession in Nagasaki, the Japanese have here abandoned many of the antiquated cartographic notions, such as an insular California, which were common in Japanese maps of the previous decade. Japanese cartographers may have been motivated to update their traditional world view in the light of the explosion of cartographic ideas associated with the arrival in Edo Harbor of the American Commodore Matthew Perry in the same year this map was published. As a whole this map offers a sophisticated cartographic presentation of the world embracing the most up to date cartographic knowledge available in the mid-19th century. Though adapted to the Japanese printing style, this map presents a generally accurate world view. British Claims to Washington and British Columbia are noted in North America, Australia and the Pacific are accurately rendered, as are the discoveries of Vitus Bering and James Cook in the Arctic, and Africa is clearly pre-Speke. The disputed East Sea / Sea of Japan / Sea of Korea is here labeled as the Sea of Joseon (Korea), which some scholars suggests indicates Japanese acceptance of the “Sea of Korea” convention. Four hemispheres appear in the lower left quadrant, from left, the southern, northern, eastern, and western. All are on a stereographic projection. The map is printed on woodblock and hand colored in vivid, blues, greens, oranges, and yellows. A fine example of the redefined Japanese cartography style of the later Tokugawa period.
