From the snowcapped summit of Fuji San (Mt Fuji) to the rocky shores of its most remote islands, this map illustrates the landcapes of Japan like no other wall map. Beautiful shaded relief illustrates the mountains, valleys, plains, and coastlines that define the country's topography, and hand-picked hues are overlaid on the terrain to signify five classes of land cover across Japan: evergreen forest, deciduous forest, grassland/shrubland, cropland, and built-up areas.
The map features over 1,400 hand-placed labels for cities, mountains, rivers, lakes, and coastal features, making this print both a detailed reference and a gorgeous rendering of Japan's varied and wonderful geography. The entire map (insets included) is shown at a scale of 1:2,000,000; allowing for easy comparison of island sizes and the vast breadth of the country from the northernmost tip of Hokkaido to the far-flung shores of Minami Torishima.
