-- Maeda Ai



"There is congealed in the ōezu maps of Edo a peculiar compositional mode that fades from view when we look back from the perspective of a maps of Tokyo which introduced modern surveying techniques. At the center of the map is the white space of the shogun’s castle overlaid with the hollyhock crest of the Tokugawa around which is a mosaic of streets and daimyō residences reproduced with great precision. [...] This cartographic vision which scarcely changed for two hundred years suggests an image of urban space as it was understood by the people of early modern Japan.
It is a series of concentric circles with the castle at the center."

The Nineteenth-Century Edo Project, based in part of Edo Meisho Zue and interactive map of Edo, the Manpō o-Edo ezu, published in 1849 and printed 1852, from the University of Michigan.

The Nineteenth-Century Edo Project is the first part of what will be an ongoing initiative to bring together historical material related to Japan housed in the libraries and museums of the University of Michigan. The Project is centered on an interactive map of the city of Edo (Tokyo) from the University's Map Library, the Manpō o-Edo ezu, published in 1849 and printed 1852. The site is intended to serve as an introduction to the geography, history, and culture of nineteenth-century Edo, "not simply the largest city in Japan" -- as Isaac Titsingh wrote at the end of the eighteenth century -- "but quite possibly the world."
