Maps of Japan

Three or four days into our bicycle tour, our most common exclamation was “Hey! That sign is trying to tell us something!”

I fund my bicycling adventures by helping companies clearly present information on the web. So it was with particular relish that I spent so much time parsing clues from the many maps we saw through out our travels. In a country nearly devoid of street art, these signs became a stand-in for street abstracts I like to shoot.
