Kuniezu
The kuniezu (国絵図) were a series of Japanese provincial land maps, created during the Edo period, which the Tokugawa shogunate ordered be created by every province.[1] They are sometimes contrasted with nihonzu (日本図), which were national maps created by the shogunate.[2]
In 1983, two of these map sets—the Genroku Kuniezu and the Tempō Kuniezu—were designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan.[3][4]
