Japan.- [Meiji Period Traveller's Map of Japan], folding colour woodcut map, on six conjoined sheets, overall c.710 x 1430mm., title and text in Japanese, some very light soiling and slight wear to folds, original wrappers with printed paper label, a little spotted and rubbed, folding to 4to, [late 1860s]. ⁂ Including a table with distances of towns from Tokyo and the services available to travellers, but not showing Hokkaido. The use of lines of latitude and longitude, a Western concept, suggest the map was made following the establishment of relations with the United States in the mid-1850s, while the depiction of Japan as a whole country is unlikely to have been created until after the Meiji Revolution in 1868 when the country was unified under the rule of the Emperor Meiji.
