Nihonbashi Yori æ ¥æ æ æ æ ã ã ª [Tokugawa woodblock print map]. TÅ to æ ±é ½ (Edo/Tokyo). Bunkyu 2 [1862]. Color woodblock print map of Edo (Tokyo), oriented with North to the right. Originally published in Kaiei 2 [1849], this updated map was republished in 1862. Publisher is given as Yorozuya Seibe è å± å å æ with an address in Asakusa. This late Tokugawa period map chronicles a growing Edo when the DaimyÅ were establishing residences in the city, just a few years before this feudal landholding class was abolished. The vertical titles indicates that this is a map of residences (white areas on the map) of various Daimyo or noble families with their crests, with routes from Nihonbashi æ ¥æ æ . The map has two titles: one vertical (è« å¾¡å¤§å å¾¡å± é ªä¼ å ° 御ç ) and one horizontal (æ ¥æ æ ã ã ªè« æ æ± é "æ ), read from right to left. "御大" is an abbreviation for General or, in this case, DaimyÅ . Major temples and shrines are labeled, as well as bridges and residences, and rice fields are noted. A bump-out piece has been added to extend the East section likely to accommodate the many changes to the growing metropolis into the bay. There is a legend with place names and a guide to distance.
