解説 |
Ochikochi Dōin・Hishikawa Moronobu 1841 This is a modified edition of Ochikochi Dōin’s Illustrated Map of the Tōkaidō Highway (1690). This edition was published in 1841 by Sōyō. The map’s legend states, “…the old edition of the map used a 3 bu to 1 chō scale, whereas this map uses a 1 bu to 1 chō scale…” meaning the original edition showed 1 chō of distance (approximately 109 meters) as approximately 9 millimeters, whereas this later edition showed 1 chō as approximately 3 millimeters. The original 1690 edition was subsequently re-released in a more compact form, and this 1841 edition features famous locations in the vicinity that were not included in the original, as well as detailed information about tea houses along the route. The 1841 edition was included in Tōkaidō Bungen Ezu (Illustrated Map of the Tōkaidō Highway in Sections), which was published by Kichimonjiya Ichibē of Ōsaka, and also published by Takehara Yoshibē of Kyōto. Many publishers were involved in reprinting and reproducing the map. |
