description: Entitled Kokugun Zenzu and printed c. 1839 (Tenpo 10), this is an early japanese atlas of exceptional rarity, beauty and importance. Compiled by Motonobu Aoo and Toshiro Eirakayu based upon the works of Japan's 18th century master cartographer Ino Tadataka, this set of two volumes contains more than 70 regional maps of Japan. Each map offers spectacular beauty and detail exhibits traditional japanese cartography at its finest. Such atlases were compiled by order of the Shogun Tokugawa and given as gifts to his favored warlords. Many of the feudal fortresses in Japan were subsequently destroyed by war and fire, their archives were lost, and thus few such examples survive. Further Ino Tadataka material is additionally rare as most of his surviving maps were assembled in the late 1800s by an imperial functionary and avid Ino collector. They were subsequently stored in the Royal Palace archives which were themselves, tragically, destroyed by fire in 1912. There are two different versions of this atlas. Though both have the same maps, one is a deluxe edition, is larger and printed on heavy paper. The other is printed on very thin paper and is physically thinner. This is the smaller edition.

description: A large-format Edo Period japanese woodblock map of Musashi Province dating to 1858. Musashi (武蔵国, Musashi no kuni) was a province of Japan, which today comprises Tokyo Prefecture, most of Saitama Prefecture and part of Kanagawa Prefecture, mainly Kawasaki and Yokohama. Musashi bordered on Kai, Kozuke, Sagami, Shimosa, and Shimotsuke Provinces. Musashi was the largest province in the Kanto region. It had its ancient capital in modern Fuchu, Tokyo and its provincial temple in what is now Kokubunji, Tokyo. By the Sengoku period, the main city was Edo, which became the dominant city of eastern Japan. Edo Castle was the headquarters of Tokugawa Ieyasu before the Battle of Sekigahara and became the dominant city of Japan during the Edo period, being renamed Tokyo during the Meiji Restoration. Printed in the traditional japanese style popular during the Edo Period, with topograpy shown in profile, no firm directional orientation, and map titles in cartouches.

description: An extraordinary find, this is a c. 1847 Tokugawa Period japanese woodblock nautical chart of the Izu Islands (伊豆諸島 Izu-shoto). Oriented to the East, this map covers from Chiba, Kanagawa, and Sagami Bay southwards as far as Miyake and Mikurajima Islands. Traditionally referred to as the Izu Seven (伊豆七島 Izu Shichito?), the Izu Islands are officially part of modern day Tokyo. Though many are uninhabited nature preserves, some of the Ize Islands host large town and villages. This map notes the locations of various shrines, towns, rivers, temples, and identifies local production specialties. With minimal inland detail this map can best be interpreted as a traditional japanese nautical chart. Notes nautical routes and many offshore features including dangerous reefs and shoals. Though undated the latest information on this map dates to 1847 and the whole is stylistically consistent with our advertised date of c. 1847.
