Village Map - Muraezu

Japanese: 村絵図 - むらえず
Village Map - Muraezu
In the early modern period, these were maps made for each village. Many were colored. They vary in size, but most are on a scale of about 1:600. Initially, they were made together with land survey books, but they were made for various reasons, such as to accompany village detail books. Some depict the general landscape, including fields, houses, roads, bridges, rivers and irrigation canals, and major temples and shrines, while others only depict the necessary parts. → Town Maps / Country Maps

近世,村ごとに作られた絵図。彩色のものが多い。大きさはまちまちであるが,縮尺は600分の1程度のものが多い。初期は検地帳とともに作製されたようだが,村明細帳に添えるためなど,さまざまな事情により作製された。田畑屋敷,道橋,川や用水,主要堂社など景観全般を描いたものと,必要な部分だけを描いたものがある。→町絵図/国絵図
