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.
