袋川と外堀との間に区画された町割のうち、智頭街道よりも東側（袋川の上流側）を描いた絵図。この大切図には１６町の町人町と、その東側に配置された寺町（朱色）、総構である袋川沿いや町人町に点在する武家の拝領屋敷（黄色）が描かれている。このうち町人町は、一軒ごとに表間口と奥行の間数を記し、その所有者を記載している。町人町の土地所有状況を記すのは、表間数を指数とする町役の賦課・十分一銀（町屋の売買に際して、その価格の１０分の１を徴収する）などを算出するためと推定される。しがたって、本図によって現住者の情報を得ることはできない。また本図には所々に所有者の変更を示す貼り紙があり、その下限は明治２年（1869）である。このことから、土地管理の基礎資料として町会所などで長期にわたって利用されていた状況がうかがえる。なお、大切図は、本図を含めて６枚に分けて城下町全体の町人町を描いており、その構成は、川内上、川内下、江崎・上町・立川、川外上、川外下、新品治となっている。

This place is special to me because I'm in awe that such a little strip of coastline can hold all this abundance of wildlife and wonder. In one stroll you can experience ALL the weather, hike the trails, swim or enjoy the ocean, shop for eclectic local wares, eat home made food, and drink a locally brewed beverage. My children often have their classes on the sand dunes or watching the salmon spawn in the fall. I'm very grateful to live here.

A Day in Davis Bay

Kamogawa is a representative river in Kyoto. A few years ago, the promenade was improved radically, and it became very convenient for traveling north and south by bicycle. Here is my recommended cycling course! Join me and contribute to the realization of a Carbon-Free Society!

A basically untitled map of the San Francisco Bay Area showing highways, bridges, settlements, relief,and numerous cute vignettes including a seagull cursing over missing his human target (Richmond), three oysters in beds (South San Francisco), and an explosion blowing a man of leisure sky-high (Hercules Powder Mill - near Pinole). Highlights the forthcoming (1939-1940) Golden Gate International Exposition (World's Fair) on Treasure Island.

サンフランシスコ 湾と橋 (1939)

This is a rare and often underappreciated 1606 mapping New Spain by Hondius and Mercator.  Covering the viceroyalty granted to Hernan Cortez following his conquest of the Aztec Empire, this map details, roughly, from  Mexico City westward to the Pacific coast and northward as far as modern-day Michoacán.  

Cartographically Mercator's map is heavily influenced by Ortelius' 1579 map of the same region.  Though we are uncertain of Ortelius' sources, this map exhibits a combination of known and speculative cartographic elements.  Mexico City appears at right center surrounded by water as it appeared at the time of the conquest.  By the time this map was drawn, much of the region between Mexico City and the Pacific ports along the coast, as well as the mining regions to the north and west, had been roughly mapped by the conquistadores.  

Lake Chapala (Chapalicum Mare) for example is accurately situated and formed.  However, as the map extends further north into only tenuously explored regions, the cartography becomes more speculative.  The large inland sea in the northwestern quadrant with is four numbered and named islands is clearly drawn from indigenous legends, most likely as transmitted via the Codex Mendoza.  Elaborate baroque title cartouche in the upper right quadrant.

Map of New Spain’s pacific coast - 1606

A beautiful example of A. J. Johnson’s 1866 map of Florida. This rare map offers a fascinating snapshot of this secessionist state shortly following the close of the American Civil War. Map shows the state in full with color coding according to county. Cartographically this map is
probably based on U.S. Land Survey charts commissioned in the mid-1850s. Makes numerous references to American Indian tribes and to forts and battles sites related to the Seminole Wars. Notes Lake
Okeechobee, the Everglades, the Indian Hunting Grounds, Biscayne Bay,
Tampa Bay and the Okefenokee Swamp. Also shows the course of a proposed canal route leading from Tampa to the Atlantic. The Arredondo Grant is included just to the west of St. Augustine. The Arredondo Grant was a layover of the Spanish Land Grant program, which bequeathed it to a powerful Spanish merchant - Arredondo. With incredible difficulty and protest, the land grants were dissolved when Florida became part of the United States. Nonetheless the Arredondo Grand proved tenacious appearing on mappings of this region well into the late 19th century. An inset map in the lower left hand quadrant details the Florida Keys.
Features the fretwork style border common to Johnson’s atlas work from 1863 to 1869. Published by A. J. Johnson and Ward as plate number 43 in the 1866 edition of Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas. This is the last edition of the Johnson Atlas to bear the Johnson and Ward imprint.

フロリダ半島 (1863)

How are you all spending your time amid the CORONA  situation?
I have been traveling online all the time recently.
K-drama has been very popular all over the world. Just recently, Crash Landing On You topped on most viewed K-drama in Netflix worldwide. With it’s gained popularity many become interested if they really shoot the film in North Korea since the setting of the drama is in North Korea. 
Today, I would like to introduce where it really happens. 
I was very interested just because North Korea is not very open for tourists, therefore, it is very impossible to have the setting of the K-drama there. 
-But the artists and the production really did well in making it a realistic North Korea. They even perfectly imitated the North Korean accent. 
In  reality, the place isn’t really filmed in North Korea but rather in Mongolia.
The following scenes were specifically  filmed in September 2019.
・Scene of Seri and Captain Lee riding a train
・Scene from the  broken train and a bonfire in the meadow
・Station where the train arrives
・The scene of Dan taking a taxi to visit Captain Lee

この2年間、なかなか自由に部屋を出ることは叶わず、何度旅することを夢見たろうか。
外界とアクセスをする時はマスク一枚に自由を隔てられ、本当の意味で自由になれたのは部屋の中だけだった。

この一枚の絵は、そんな世界中の旅を夢見た人が壁に地図を広げて、旅を夢見る瞬間を描いたものです。
私たちは部屋の中にいながらも世界中の隣人と繋がり、それはまた宇宙にも繋がっています。

あなたはどんな部屋からこの部屋を眺めていますか？

This is Erhard Etzlaub's second printed European roadmap from 1501, the so-called Landstrassen map. It is very similar to Etzlaub's earlier Romweg map, which was the first ever printed european roadmap.<br>

ヨーロッパ南北逆転 (1501)

Very decorative large pictorial map of Europe designed in 1946 by Pierre Herault and published in Angers by Editions Jacques Petit in 1955. The separately issued map shows the whole of Europe without national borders and it is richly illustrated by nice illustrations featuring people, flora, animals, farms, gastronomic delight of the various countries. In the top right corner, a smiling sun gives a new bright optimism to the continent after the 6 years of conflict. A very nice uncommon map.
