Description: Meiji-era Woodblock Map of Japan[Amended and Supplementary Map of Fushimi (Kyoto), Japan] Kaisei zōho Kyō ezu taisei / 改正増補京繪圖大成 Title: [Amended and Supplementary Map of Fushimi (Kyoto), Japan] Kaisei zōho Kyō ezu taisei / 改正増補京繪圖大成 Publication: [Kyoto]: Yakichi Hachioya (sometimes Hachidaiya) [八大屋弥吉], 1863 (Bunkyu 3) Description: Ephemera. The third edition of this woodblock map of Kyoto, at the time the Imperial seat (the emperor moved to Tokyo in 1868). The map depicts a traditional street grid for the center of the city, with relief shown pictorially around the map edges. North is to the left, as is typical in Japanese maps of the time.40-1/4 by 28 inches (103 by 71 cm), printed on four joined sheets.There are (at least) two issues of this map, one of which denotes burned areas with red handcoloring. That is probably a later 1864 issue, reflecting the damage done in the Great Genji Fire of August 1864. Near fine. A near fine copy with a short tear in one margin. The printing on the lower left sheet is somewhat lighter than the rest of the map. In a loose printed folded paper wrapper with the title and a delicate decorative border. The era (Bunkyu) is printed with a space below, possibly to supply the year, but that space is still empty on this copy.
