Extra large and detailed map of Eastern Siberia and the Far East, also includes Sakhalin and part of Hokkaido. Rokokuban can be understood as copied from the Russian edition . Probably it was copied from the 40-verst map (1: 1 680 000) of military roads published in 1829, a F.F. Schubert edition. The original map consisted of VIII engraved plates in black and white, the administrative borders indicated in color. The Japanese copy was made using lithographic technique. The names of gubernias are in Chinese, and the cities and towns are written in katakana. The publisher, Sanbo Honbu, served as a part of theImperial Army, therefore the map reveals Imperial ambitions.  Text in Japanese. Original paper board cover with original title slip.
