extraits :
« Cartographic Japan is divided into four parts. The first section, covering the 16th through 18th centuries, explores the rise of a “robust cartographic culture” ranging from small maps of villages by and for local elites to massive artworks that found their way to European markets ».
Part II of the collection is largely concerned with the 18th- and 19th-century rise of commercial cartography
In Part III, attention shifts to the proliferation of maps chronicling Japan’s urbanization, industrialization, militarization, and expansion from the mid-19th century through the end of World War II
The final part of the collection is devoted to mapping after 1945 — an understudied era

extraits de la conclusion du chap 11 :
« No other civilization has preserved as many original eighth-century map documents »
« It is in the sixteenth century that coordinated efforts were made to survey and map the provinces, beginning
in 1591 with the government of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.... Large-scale maps of 1:21,600 that covered the country from northernmost Honshu to the Ryukyus were completed in the middle of the seventeenth century.
« There was no wholesale transmission of European scientific mapping until the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
« From the mid-eighteenth century, the influx of Dutch books, globes, and maps, the introduction of the heliocentric Copernican system, and the translation of Dutch atlases of the world and treatises on globe
making into japanese enlarged the Japanese scope of the world through Dutch eyes »
The jesuit Matteo Ricci ‘1552-1610) ' s world map was printed in several versions and became the basis of a printed map trade for maps designed to be hung in houses or published in books and encyclopedias
« A quite different tradition, that of the Buddhist world map (map of the Five Indias), was apparently current in
the seventh century (although the earliest surviving map is from the fourteenth), and survived until the mid-nineteenth century ».
« More comparative studies between the cartographies of Japan, China, and Korea need to be undertaken »
