Abstract
It is generally well known that a copy of the Nihonsouzu (general map of Japan) made during the Genroku Era by the Shogunate is currently being kept in Meiji University’s Ashida Library. Additionally, 10 sets of kirizu (copies of sections) of the Genroku Nihonsouzu are known to currently exist. These are actually copies of smaller sections of the map, however this fact is not commonly known. These sets of kiriutsushizu are kept in various places such as Shizuoka Prefecture’s Kuno Library, Tokyo Metropolitan Library’s Kondo Memorial Maritime Affairs Library, the Oosa Library of Nagoya, the Nanki Library at the University of Tokyo, the Akioka Collection at the National Museum of Japanese History, and in the Sanada Houmotukan of Nagano City.
