Why gift a star map of Nara?
Gifting a star map of Nara means capturing the aura of a starlit night above Japan's most ancient capital, where the memory of emperors and Buddhist monks still lingers. Whether for a proposal facing the Great Buddha or an anniversary during the Mantōrō festival, this map immortalises a moment between heritage and nature. A gift as serene as a deer asleep beneath the stars.
The sky of Nara
At 34.7° north latitude, Nara shares the northern sky of Kyoto and Osaka. The Nara Astronomy Club organises public observations, and the dark Yoshino mountains, about 40 km south, offer one of Kansai's purest skies, ideal for watching the Perseid meteor showers each August.
