Contents: A general map of Japan, hand-coloured, showing division into provinces, many of which are coloured yellow on the map. Details of provinces and their revenues are given in a panel at upper left. A panel along the lower edge gives distances between places in Japan, and another panel, printed inkoku at lower left, purports to indicate distances of places (e.g. 'Tenjiku' 天竺, Holland, Luzon, Nanking) outside Japan. This was the first map to record the map-maker's name.
