愛宕山の頂上には神仏習合の時代から愛宕権現、勝軍地蔵が祀られ、修験道の道場でした。現在も愛宕神社が鎮座して火難よけの神が祀られ、全国に約九百ある愛宕社の総本山として多くの人々の信仰を集めています。歴史的な逸話や伝説の多い愛宕神社への参道は、愛宕道として知られています。平安時代中期の僧奝然（ちょうねん）は、愛宕山を中国の五台山と見立てて比叡山に向き合う文殊信仰の聖地にしようとしました。五台山清凉寺が今回のコースの起点になっています。葬送の地・化野（あだしの）を通る参道には奥嵯峨の見所が数多く点在します。この地図では清凉寺と愛宕山の紹介を中心に愛宕道の歴史と見所を紹介します。

Ino Map No.90 Musashi (Tokyo), Sagami (Circa 1873)

This detailed map illustrates the town layout between Fukuro River and the outer moat, specifically focusing on the area east of the Chizu Kaido (upstream of Fukuro River). The map depicts 16 town areas of merchant quarters, with temple quarters (marked in red) situated on the eastern side. Additionally, it shows the residences assigned to samurai households (in yellow) along Fukuro River and scattered within the merchant quarters, which formed part of the overall fortifications.

Each merchant quarter records the frontage and depth of each property and the name of the owner. It is believed that this information on land ownership was documented to calculate town taxes based on frontage and depth, as well as to determine the required payments for the "juubun-ichigin" (a tax equivalent to one-tenth of the property's selling price upon sale). Therefore, this map does not provide information on current residents.

The map also contains pasted notes indicating changes in ownership, with the latest being in the second year of the Meiji era (1869). This suggests that the map was used for an extended period by town councils and other entities for land management purposes.

In total, there are six sheets of this detailed map depicting the entire castle town’s merchant quarters. The layout comprises sections labeled as Kawauchiue, Kawauchishita, Ezaki/Ue Machi/Tachikawa, Kawagaiue, Kawagaishita, and Shinhinaji.

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.
