Research Abstract

1. Research of map-making process of Dewa-no-kuni-ezu in the Edo era
Dewa-no-kuni-ezu is pictorial maps of Akita and Yamagata prefectures set by the Tokugawa government.
As a result of examined where Dewa-no-kuni-ezu is in existence, we confirmed existences of 158 maps.
In number, Dewa-no-kuni-ezu is a large number of Kuni-ezu in Japan. According to former researches, Kuni-ezu wasn't drawn at Kyouhou time, but we confirmed that Dewa-no-kuni-ezu was drawn at its time by Akita-han and Yonezawa-han.
2. A case study of Dewa-no-kuni-ezu's spatial expression
Michiaki Iwahana considered how holy mountaines drawn in Kuni-ezu are arranged in space. Hideo Watanabe considered by traffic expression drawn in Dewa-no-kuni-ezu, and made a list of archives concerning Dewa-no-kuni-ezu keeped at Akita archival library.
3. Research of tranceformation of figure by map-making of Dewa-no-kuni-ezu
Atsushi Onodera attempted tranceformation of figure of Dewa-no-kuni-ezu by image processing. Through this attempt, I can make a clear distinction between draft-map-figure and complete-map-figure. I comprehended that han (clan) needed to modify a boundary line through and through because of map-making.
