Landscape Map of Japan

Mixed media drawing using watercolor and fine-liner pens, created on August 1, 2026, measuring 32x24cm. The artwork depicts several of Japan's most iconic and touristy places, such as the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, Osaka Castle, Tokyo Tower, Lake Ashi in Kanagawa, Ghibli Park in Aichi, Tokyo DisneySea in Chiba, the torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima, Kobe Port Tower, the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum in Saitama, and Hirosaki Castle in Aomori. At the bottom, the Ryukyu Islands (Japan's subtropical islands, including the best-known, Okinawa) can be seen. However, this artwork is essentially a guide to the Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples of Japan, showing what Japan's true spiritual identity is, despite the secularism of the 21st century.
