A textbook on technical drawing for architects and cartographers. The book is an introduction to the basics of surveying (geodesy). Numerous illustrations include simple geometrical figures, extorted figures, ways of measuring regular and irregular objects, measuring tools (protractors), optical tools (camera obscura), models of the Earth and graticules. The writer, Genrin Misoguchi, describes himself in the preface as a member of the Otani school of measurement. There are few mentions of that school in academic publications. It is believed to have emerged in the late Edo era. The present book is a very rare example of how Western knowledge about measurement was kept alive for centuries, and how such know-how was passed along from teacher to apprentice. Text in Japanese. 1vol. 20,8x15,5cm. 33ll. Manuscript. Numerous colour illustrations, charts and folding parts. One tiny worm hole. Original fukuro toji. Paper wrappers, embossed. Original title slip. Front cover worn. Near fine condition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1245
