宮城県登米市登米町は「みやぎの明治村」として知られ、重要文化財・登米高等尋常小学校をはじめとして、近代洋風建築が点在し、まるごと建築博物館のような魅力あるまちです。
　江戸時代は士農工商の身分制のまちづくりがなされており、通りごとに武家屋敷や町家、あるいは寺社が織りなす町並みが異なるのは江戸時代の都市計画のためです。
　北上川の舟運とともに栄えた、自然豊かなまちの姿も魅力です。町家には、所々に川側に門をひらく住宅もあって、北上川とのつながりを見いだせます。また敷地に柿などの実のなる木や自家菜園を営む家も多くみられます。質素倹約を旨としたサムライは、住まいで自給自足的な生活を営んでおり、樹木や畑はサムライ文化の名残ともいえます。
　城下町の建築文化すべてがコンパクトに凝縮され、しかも、近代化したハイカラなたてものまでも残るまち。ぜひその歴史を体感ください。

A Testing Ground for New Tourism Ventures : Revitalizing Kansai through the Tourism Industry

Set off on a journey of discovery with an illustrated digital map that reveals Osaka’s hidden charms!

The "Panoramic Map of Osaka City" is a bird's-eye view illustration published in 1924. It depicts the urban area of Osaka at the time from a perspective looking northeast from above Osaka Bay in the southwest. The intricate network of moats and canals, along with the town layout of the water city Osaka, is rendered in detail, vividly recording the scene on the eve of the "Great Osaka" era, featuring both the old cityscape from the Edo period and modern architecture. At the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, visitors can experience this map enlarged approximately seven times as an illuminated floor display, allowing them to visually enjoy the city's historical transformation.

Printed on December 28, 1923 (Taishō 12), published on January 5, 1924 (Taishō 13).

Museum Hopping Map

A very interesting 1853 (Kaei 6) Japanese world map by Suido Nakajima. Presented on a cylindrical projection, this map marks a significant advancement in Japanese globular cartography and a far more sophisticated adaptation of western cartographic standards than is evidenced in most earlier Japanese world maps. No longer reliant on 17th century Dutch maps acquired via the Dutch East India Company’s (VOC) trade concession in Nagasaki, the Japanese have here abandoned many of the antiquated cartographic notions, such as an insular California, which were common in Japanese maps of the previous decade. Japanese cartographers may have been motivated to update their traditional world view in the light of the explosion of cartographic ideas associated with the arrival in Edo Harbor of the American Commodore Matthew Perry in the same year this map was published. As a whole this map offers a sophisticated cartographic presentation of the world embracing the most up to date cartographic knowledge available in the mid-19th century. Though adapted to the Japanese printing style, this map presents a generally accurate world view. British Claims to Washington and British Columbia are noted in North America, Australia and the Pacific are accurately rendered, as are the discoveries of Vitus Bering and James Cook in the Arctic, and Africa is clearly pre-Speke. The disputed East Sea / Sea of Japan / Sea of Korea is here labeled as the Sea of Joseon (Korea), which some scholars suggests indicates Japanese acceptance of the “Sea of Korea” convention. Four hemispheres appear in the lower left quadrant, from left, the southern, northern, eastern, and western. All are on a stereographic projection. The map is printed on woodblock and hand colored in vivid, blues, greens, oranges, and yellows. A fine example of the redefined Japanese cartography style of the later Tokugawa period.

Japanese Map of the World

Pictorial view of the world. Originally issued uncolored, color was added later. Map is projected as a view from space and details the world roughly from the Equator to the North Pole and from California to India. Flora, fauna, historic events, cultural artifacts, and indigenous people are represented pictorially. The Sargasso Sea is illustrated in the middle of the Atlantic. Includes inset views illustrate places and moments of special interest including mirages in the Pacific, a ship burning at sea, Niagara Falls, Chicago, oil wells, gold mining, Hindu cremation, Chinese Junks, Tuareg warriors, an avalanche, etc. also includes lists of the nations and maritime flags. Shows sketches of some 79 individuals in 'traditional costumes'. To either side of the main view are flags of major nations, sailing ships, volcanoes, and other imagery. Include an ice free polar sea north of Greenland labeled 'Mer Libre?' No doubt this is a nod to hopes that a Northwest Passage might still exist. Union Pacific and Trans-Atlantic shipping lanes are noted. The achievements of various explorers are noted in both Africa and the Arctic.
