Manuscript Map

Note
"On the verso is an unfinished manuscript map that depicts a locality, with all details unlabelled, with sub-jurisdictions outlined in the own bright hues, and a river running through it, while a legend, upper-right, defines unused symbols. We have not been able to identify the subject of the map, and even whether it pertains in any way to Taiwan. However, the note in the lower right, seems to refer to “Nagai Village”, which if true might refer to a town in the Yamagata Prefecture of north-central Japan. This is perhaps a matter for further research." (See Pub note)

Bunkyu 3 (1863 map of Kyoto, Japan).
List No
13123.002
Note
Woodblock Japanese map of Kyoto on sheet 45x69, folded in covers with cover title, dated Bunkyū 3 [1863]. Relief shown pictorially. Includes legend. Covers all of Kyoto as well as some of the surrounding hills. Printed in the traditional Japanese style popular during the Edo Period, with topography shown in profile, no directional orientation. Early Japanese cartography has its own very distinctive projection and layout system. This era, from the 1600s to c. 1855, which roughly coincides with the Tokugawa or Edo Period (1603-1886), some consider the Golden Age of Japanese Cartography. Map shows city blocks, rivers, mountains, lakes and some buildings.

Note
Engraved map in Russian of Northern California and Mexico, Baja California. Shows international and administrative boundaries, cities, towns, rivers and mountains. Relief shown by hachures. Date is estimated based on showing of Pyramid Lake from the Fremont 1845 map. The map appears to have been published in Russia as a separate map, not in any reports we can locate. It shows the Russian settlement at Fort Ross on the California coast. It might have been a map advocating for increased Russian exploration and settlement in California. There is no mention of the gold rush on the map, thus it is likely to have been published before 1849. We have not been able to located any other copies at libraries.

Wood block print, pictorial map of the coast defense of Tokyo Bay. Kawaraban Broadside Map depicting arrival of Perry's "Black Ships," describing the arrival of the American Commodore Matthew Perry to Edo Bay (Tokyo Bay) in 1854 (Kaei 6), after his earlier brief visit in 1853. The defensive ships identified by the warlord in charge and his armorial crest are around the bay to intimidate the invaders. Includes notes describing the troops and list of names of Samurais in charge of defense of Tokyo Bay. Includes an illustration in the upper right depicting an American soldier. Perry's ships were the first major western intrusion into Japan. “Perry, on behalf of the U.S. government, forced Japan to enter into trade with the United States and demanded a treaty permitting trade and the opening of Japanese ports to U.S. merchant ships. This was the era when all Western powers were seeking to open new markets for their manufactured goods abroad, as well as new countries to supply raw materials for industry. It was clear that Commodore Perry could impose his demands by force. The Japanese had no navy with which to defend themselves, and thus they had to agree to the demands… Upon seeing Perry's fleet sailing into their harbor, the Japanese called them the "black ships of evil mien (appearance)." Many leaders wanted the foreigners expelled from the country, but in 1854 a treaty was signed between the United States and Japan which allowed trade at two ports. In 1858 another treaty was signed which opened more ports and designated cities in which foreigners could reside. The trade brought much foreign currency into Japan disrupting the Japanese monetary system. Because the ruling shogun seemed unable to do anything about the problems brought by the foreign trade, some samurai leaders began to demand a change in leadership. The weakness of the Tokugawa shogunate before the Western demand for trade, and the disruption this trade brought, eventually led to the downfall of the Shogunate and the creation of a new centralized government with the emperor as its symbolic head.” Source: Asia for Educators, Columbia University.

(Korean Celestial and zodiacal constellation chart).
List No
11806.001
Note
Early manuscript star chart integrating Korean, Chinese, and western astronomical science, with title on verso, on sheet 85x81. Date estimated. Originally engraved in a stone stele. Showing rank and distribution of Stars, illustrates the traditional Chinese zodiacal system, following the Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido, a fourteenth -centuray Korean star map, but also incorporating western zodiacal astrology, and Qian Lezhi's c. 440 AD Chinese celestial globe illustrating the work of the ancient Chinese astronomers Shi Shen, Gan De, and Wu Xian. Following Qian Lezhi's c. system the constellations of the three great astronomers are distinguished. Constellations appearing in black reference Gan De, constellations in red reference Shi Shen, open circles reference Wu Xia. Two larger intersecting circles surround the center, represent the ecliptic and Equator. The chart is further divided into numerous xiu, surrounding a central nexus. The nexus, represented by a circle at the center of the map, represents Earthly life. The other constellations are divided into zones typically referred to as xiu or mansions. In traditional Chinese celestial cartography there are 28 unequal mansions, presumably associated with lunar movements. This chart, for no clear reason, consolidates several of the smaller mansions into larger entities, leaving only 24. This chart also illustrates the Milky Way, a feature uncommon to Chinese charts, but not atypical on Korean charts from the 14th century onwards, when it first appeared on the Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido. Around the outside of the map the constellations of the western Zodiac, and the seasons, are named. An exceptionally rare and important discovery.
