The Hokkaido Cartographer

Cartography is the love for art and geometry. My mission is to make Swiss 🇨🇭 cartography known in Japan 🇯🇵 and to create new map series for Japan.

Still available from my Japanese distributor @alice_sha, the award-winning, first bilingual hiking map for Japan in Swiss map style of #Hokkaido's tallest mountain, "ASAHI-DAKE: The Heart of Daisetsuzan National Park".

@youwillmakemaps Thanks! That was the easy part. Next, you combined letters into words to learn proper spacing.

@StaridasGeo @EduardShading A dilemma? I do not see any dilemma here. @EduardShading is always winner.

@yamareco ヤマレコの北アルプス登山道支援は素晴らしい！一方で地域ごとに道標がバラバラな現状は、全国統一の標準化システムが切実に必要なことを物語っています。各自治体が独自に作る「つぎはぎ」方式は混乱の元。安全とインバウンドのためにも全国共通基準を！

For something a little different, the ryokan I work for in south Osaka will be putting on a Kyogen comedic play on June 20th

Seats are JPY 12,000 per person and include a seasonal kaiseki lunch

It will be in Japanese but I've found Kyogen enjoyable even with my limited ability!

The 2024 earthquake in Noto Peninsula was a blow to the area’s centuries’ old craft of Wajima lacquerware. A Kanazawa restaurant is promoting the lacquerware’s practical beauty by centering it in the meals it offers to diners.

@aaaai12345 鉄道の描写が境界線のようで、視認性も低いです。鉄道の本としては、非常に不適切な表現と言わざるを得ません。改善の余地が大いにあります。

@youwillmakemaps Swiss Alpine Cartography:"Everything about this map is unparalleled; it should be in the hands of all friends of the Alps and all those interested in the constant progress of modern cartography, at the forefront of which Switzerland certainly occupies the leading position."(1896)
