EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a "Feudal Map of Japan in 1615" created by an unknown artist in 1903. The image takes us back to the feudal period of Japanese history, when powerful families known as daimyo and military warlords called shogun held dominion over the land. During this time, the Tokugawa shogunate established control, ushering in an era of relative peace and stability known as the Edo period (1600-1868). The map itself is a testament to meticulous cartography, displaying vibrant colors that bring life to each division and jurisdiction within Japan. It highlights key figures such as Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Nobunaga Oda who played significant roles in shaping the country's political landscape during this era. As we delve into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that it represents more than just geographical boundaries; it symbolizes power dynamics, unification efforts, and centuries-old traditions deeply rooted in Japanese culture. This visual representation allows us to appreciate how politics and governance were intricately woven into every aspect of life on these islands. Preserved through time with great care by James Murdoch and Isoh Yamagata for their book "A History of Japan during the century of early foreign intercourse" this print serves as a window into a pivotal moment in Japanese history. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its ability to transport us back to a time when feudalism reigned supreme over these enchanting lands.
