Snow City Sapporo by

Sapporo, Japan is known as the snowiest metropolis in the world. Rather than simply enduring this dubious honor, we are always on the lookout for positive uses for snow— for recreation as well as for industrial purposes. “Blessed by Snow” is an official motto of Sapporo.

This illustrated map was painted across two soft washi postcards using a black felt pen and water-soluble gansai mineral paints. It is bordered with chiyogami (washi craft paper printed with traditional designs). See more of my illustrated maps here >> http://www.theydrawandtravel.com/maps/snow-city...
