| Research Abstract |
In the Edo era, enormous diagrams were used to represent avariety of information in every field of endeavor, such as astronomy, geography, medical,arithmetic, herbalism, Confucian, craft works, architectonics, advertisement, politics, andmilitary affair. Most of the research on visual representations in the Edo era hasconcentrated on fine art, such as painting and sketching, while little attention has beenpaid to diagrammatic representations. Therefore, this study seeks to collect diagrams ofthis period from various fields and to classify them in terms of their morphological aspects.It also identifies the common meanings and uses of these classified forms.
