EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a "Feudal Map of Japan between 1564-73" created in 1903 by an unknown artist. The image takes us back to the feudal period of Japanese history, a time when powerful families known as daimyo and military warlords called shogun held dominion over Japan. It was during this era that Portuguese traders arrived on Japanese shores in 1543, introducing firearms to the society. The map itself is a testament to the intricate cartography skills employed at the turn of the century. With vibrant colors and meticulous detail, it depicts the division of power and jurisdiction across various regions within Japan. From Edo Bakufu to Tokugawa Shogunate, each area represents a different seat of government during this tumultuous time. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported to an island nation grappling with political control and societal changes brought about by foreign influences. The map serves as both a visual representation of power dynamics and an invaluable resource for understanding Japan's rich past. Credit must be given to James Murdoch, M. A. , and Isoh Yamagata for their work titled "A History of Japan during the century of early foreign intercourse (1542-1651)". This collaboration from Kobe, Japan in 1903 sheds light on significant events that shaped Japanese history while also highlighting the artistry involved in map-making during that era.
