Pictorial map - Echizu (English)

Japanese: 絵地図 - えちず（英語表記）pictorial map

A map that shows things in pictures, without symbolizing them. However, it is different from a bird's-eye view, which is a picture that shows an object or landscape as seen from a certain angle. From an educational point of view, it is considered appropriate to start with a bird's-eye view, then move on to a picture map in which the target object is shown in pictures on a flat map, and then to a full-fledged map in which the pictures are symbolized abstractly. Country maps and cut-out maps are called picture maps, but are not picture maps. [See also] Maps

地図中の事物を記号化せず，その事物を絵で示す地図．ただし，事物や風景をある角度から眺めた状態を描いた絵である鳥瞰図とは異なる．教育的観点からは，鳥瞰図から始めて，平面図化した地図に目標となる事物を絵で表示する絵地図に移行し，ついで絵を抽象的記号化する本格的地図へと進めるのが適当とされる．国絵図，切絵図などは絵図といい，絵地図ではない．[参照項目] 地図
