This amazing illustration of Kowloon Walled City outside Hong Kong has been meticulously remastered and translated from the original Japanese text. It is truly a work of art and a version of it sits in the garden where the walled city once existed.

This East-West cross section depicts life at the "height" of Kowloon City, as meticulously documented by a Japanese exploration mission prior to the razing in 1994. The image contains dozens of incredible little scenes to discover, from residents jackhammering through to their neighbor's flats, to playing hide and seek and exercising. There are hundreds of little figures to find, depicted just going about their lives in the most densely populated city on earth.

"Over 350 buildings with 33,000 inhabitants on 6.5 acres of land (.01 square miles). A labyrinth of unregulated structures allowed to exist outside of the law. Life inside its walls was hardly utopian, often dangerous and almost never comfortable. Nonetheless, those who lived there look back with a degree of sentiment for the adventure of living in such conditions. Separated from the grim realities of the environment, the legend of Kowloon has only grown in the decades since its demolition."

A great gift for an architect or city planner, or anyone who appreciates highly detailed works! Be sure to also consider the alternate color schemes available to fit your decor:

The closest repro to the actual movie mask I have seen; I was going to purchase one from Italy to hang next to my Husband's urn, but glad it did not work out, as this one displays excellent attention to detail and is a true work of Art that is a privilege to own. The turn around time was fast, excellent customer service, packaging and shipping. You will not be disappointed. Tried to add a photo but Etsy kept cutting out the mask, could not get the whole image in.
