Volume 2: 3 double sided leaves of catalogues, 34 of coloured maps, 1 with editor s postscript. Early edition of this beautiful Atlas of Japan and its regions. Attractive printing using separate coloured woodblocks to print in yellow, green and blue. There is one map per province, but with a small number divided into several maps. The order of the maps reflects the feudal system in Japan which existed for more than a thousand years. The maps are in the order of the Kinai (the five ancient provinces around the ancient capital Nara and Heian-kyo) and the seven circuits. This is the gokishichido system of five provinces and seven circuits feudal administrative system which was established in the 6th century. It remained in use until the abolition of feudal domains shortly after the Meiji restoration. The Tokugawa shogunate had ordered a complete map of Japan and the more than 70 maps were produced by six cartographers for this atlas. This is said to be the first published atlas by province. The preface and legend indicate that the shape of each map was copied from Nagakubo Sekisui s (1717-1801) Revised complete map of Japan s lands and routes . Each map shows villages, roads and shrines and are an important record of a now lost Japan. This edition is the larger format on thick paper of the two editions published.…
