Very large hand coloured folding map, 200 x 189.5cm at the largest section, six panels have been removed from one corner while another two and a half panels have been included along one edge to show the reach of the city. Some insect damage repaired with washi but overall in very good condition. An exceptionally beautiful and detailed rare map of Tokyo in the Edo period (the latter half of the 17th century). This remarkable delicately executed map of Edo around the 1660s offers a wealth of detailed information about the city and its population during the early Edo period. Hundreds of names of landholders are neatly recorded. Family crests or mons are shown across Edo indicating locations of daimyo's (or feudal lord) mansions, temples depicted with even ferry routes named! Edo Castle takes centre stage, with the Sumida River flowing from north to south and emptying into the bay. Here, several boats are delicately illustrated in colour, some carrying images of lucky gods. Prominently displayed in red is the mansion of Sakai Shurinosuke, namely Sakai Tadanao (1630-1682), who received the rank of Shuri-Taiyfu (????) from the Emperor. He was a daimyo from the domain of Obama (Fukui Prefecture) and successor to his prominent father, Sakai Tadakatsu (1587-1662). Tadakatsu served as one of the most trusted ministers of Tokugawa Iemitsu (1604-1651), the third shogun. His son, Tadanao, was active as a daimyo between 1656 and 1677. A handwritten section at the top right details the Sakai family's fire responsibility area. The borders are defined by street names and landmarks, and distances are listed from the main mansion and residence to Ushigome-mon, one of Edo Castle's gates. In summary, the area of responsibility is approximately 10 cho (1 kilometre) east to west and 12 cho (1.2 kilometres) north to south. Though not explicitly dated beyond the mention of "November," the map was probably created in the 1660s. The Meireki Fire (1657) caused a large scale devastation around the castle and the Tokugawa government heightened the need of fire fighting activities in the capital. The government, firstly, allocated responsible areas for each daimyo to carry out fire fighting and, secondly, started to produce large maps of Edo based on actual measurement. Consequently, this map was most probably produced around the 1660s. Furthermore, the dating is supported by the presence of Ryogoku Bridge, built in 1659, and the absence of Shin-Ohashi Bridge, which wasn't constructed until 1693. Additionally, the map provides detailed information on residents, street names around the castle and other areas, with major temples and shrines highlighted in colour illustrations. This truly exceptional map leaves many questions unanswered. Indeed who gathered the vast amount of information to be found on the map? What was the exact purpose behind its creation? The more we examine this map the more we learn and the more questions we have. However it is very clear that this rare and beautiful manuscript map provides a depth of information about Edo in the 1660s rarely found, making the map a vital key to the city at this period. A handsome map which calls for more research. We have not been able to find a similar map nor have we ever handled anything comparable.

Antique map titled 'Plan de Jedo - Platte Grond van Jedo'. A detailed street map of the city of Edo (modern Tokyo) in Japan, originally engraved by Bellin and Schley and reissued for Dutch editions of Prévost's monumental 'l'Histoire Géneral des Voyages. The map shows the city as it would have been during the Tokugawa Shogunate, also known as the Edo period. The map centres on the sprawling Edo Castle, here referrred to as the 'Palais de l'Empereur' and shown improbably with a French-style garden in parterre. The only other features of the city to be labelled are two of the early stages of the famous Tokaido road between Tokyo and Kyoto, these being the Nihonbashi Bridge and post town of Shinagawa. The rest of the city is mainly shown as a network of streets, though a number of pagodas, temples, and fortifications are also shown. Published circa 1750.
