Description | |
This book unravels Japan in the Edo period from old maps. It uses old maps to decipher how the three Tokugawa generations built the city of Edo, and what functions each town had. The book is divided into four chapters: town planning in the Edo period, people's lives, the construction of Edo Castle, and people's entertainment. More than 50 old maps of Edo in various scales are included. The book is enriched with ukiyoe, bird's-eye views, and other illustrations that enable deeper reading of old maps. The book also includes supplementary information such as modern maps and current landmarks to help readers get a sense of the area and compare it with today's Tokyo. | |
