Passion for maps

Although my research is not on mapping Kyoto, I want to share my fascination for maps, especially in Japan. The marking of land (different trees, agriculture), water (river, lake, moving water), hills (unfolded) and temples (shrine and temple complex) are so accurate and beautiful. The whole image explains on different levels the city and its surrounding. Everything is in the right composition, relevant and clear.

This map i saw this afternoon, after a 30 minutes ride by bike in the rain, at the KCCC (the organization that invited me to come to Kyoto).
They have a small but interesting library and museum about the history of Kyoto and of cause about the Kyo-Machiya.
