EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a "Feudal Map of Japan before Sekigahara" dating back to 1903. The image takes us back to the fascinating period in Japanese history when powerful families known as daimyo and military warlords called shogun held dominion over the land. The Azuchi-Momoyama era, which commenced in 1568 with the unification efforts of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga, came to an end in 1600 after the decisive Battle of Sekigahara. The map itself is a testament to the intricate cartography skills employed during that time. It vividly depicts Japan's islands nestled within the vast Pacific Ocean, highlighting various divisions and jurisdictions under different feudal lords' control. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are transported into a world where political power was fiercely contested, shaping Japan's destiny. Although its creator remains unknown, this print serves as a valuable resource for understanding early foreign interactions with Japan from 1542 to 1651. Its vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise distant past while shedding light on key figures like Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Nobunaga Oda who played pivotal roles in shaping Japanese history. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate this remarkable piece of artistry that not only captures geographical details but also offers insights into feudalism's complex dynamics during one of Japan's most transformative centuries.
