A compact version of the Osaka map, designed as a clean and tactile piece of layered artwork.

Created using the same original map design as our larger pieces, this edition focuses on the structure of Osaka — its streets, rivers, and urban districts — refined for clarity at a smaller scale.

Layered Construction

The map is constructed from professional illustration board, built in three distinct layers:

Top layer: Major roads and connecting routes in slate grey
Middle layer: Land in soft ivory white with a subtle textured finish
Base layer: Water in a light blue tone

Osaka is shaped by its rivers and dense urban layout. This layered design captures that flow in a balanced composition, stretching from Universal Studios in the west to Osaka Castle in the east, and from Umeda in the north to Tsutenkaku in the south.

The board features a gently rippled surface, typical of traditional watercolour paper, adding a natural, tactile quality while maintaining crisp laser-cut detail.
