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
