The Project is centered on an interactive map of the city of Edo (Tokyo) from the University's Map Library, the Manpō o-Edo ezu, published in 1849 and printed 1852. The site is intended to serve as an introduction to the geography, history, and culture of nineteenth-century Edo, "not simply the largest city in Japan" -- as Isaac Titsingh wrote at the end of the eighteenth century -- "but quite possibly the world." <br /><br />http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mdjardin/edo/explore_edo/index.html<br />.<br /><br />Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.com
