61 NOTE Taipei Zhongshan Map

2018, Fineliner Pen Commissioned by 61 NOTE

Moving away from a conventional map, the original intent of this work was to transform an ordinary route map into a warm, handcrafted guide. The hope was to inspire people to slow down and wander at their own pace, discovering the unique charm of the area surrounding 61 NOTE. As a shop offering curated Japanese home goods and specialty food, 61 NOTE wanted to highlight the leisurely lifestyle it promotes. To achieve this, a cat was specially designed in the bottom right corner of the map to serve as a unique scale, which also echoes the character of Zhongshan District as an area perfect for a leisurely stroll. This map successfully blends practicality with artistic expression, allowing users to not only navigate but also to experience the refined taste that 61 NOTE conveys.
