This is a commissioned map  for the Otago museum here in Dunedin NZ. It’s a wonderful magical place where you can spend hours and hours looking, imagining and learning about the history, the people, the flora and fauna of Dunedin and Otago. There are some iconic items in the collection, like the giant sunfish, the leopard seal, the waka and of course the moa collections. There is an amazing special exhibition space, a planetarium and a tropical butterfly house.

The Otago Peninsula Illustrated Map

An illustrated map of Dunedin's Warehouse precinct which was once full of industry, especially agriculture and rural commerce. This was the hub of Dunedin's flourishing as a centre for business, shipping, livestock and agriculture during and following the gold rush and the arrival of migrants from Europe, especially Scotland. 
Now the area has been reinvigorated with restaurants, cafes, Tech, Law and local businesses and street art & sculpture. Recently an annual street party has been established with music, performance and tours of the heritage buildings. Also, and quite importantly, this area was once an important landing and fishing spot for local Maori as you can see in the bottom left of the map.

In Japan, the declaration of emergency has been lifted, and gradually some museums are reopened, but it is not still the same as before the pandemic.

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.
