[イベント情報]February 19, 2025(Wed)A Special International ARC Seminar under the theme of "The online publication of the ARC's Japanese old maps, including the British Library Map Collection" will be held as a webinar on Wednesday, February 19, 18:00-20:00 JST.
About this seminar:
Since the 2000s, historical GIS, which combines historical geography and geographic information science, has been rapidly developing in Japan and around the world as part of digital humanities. However, most of the geospatial data in Japan, such as modern maps and ledgers, has not been digitized and is not available in GIS format. In order to develop historical GIS, it is essential to digitize paper-based geospatial data, convert it to GIS format, and make it publicly available. Furthermore, in order to make it available to people who are not GIS experts, such as museum curators and educators, it is necessary to provide an easy-to-use framework for online searching and GIS analysis.This seminar will introduce the development of 1) the 'ARC Map Portal Database', which is a platform for old Japanese maps, 2) the Japanese version of "Map Warper," and 3) "Old Japanese Maps Online." With these components, users will be able to search for and select old maps, share geo-referenced maps, and create detailed maps on a variety of topics.
In order to create the ARC Map Portal Database, we will digitize old maps held by institutions in Japan and overseas, make them publicly available, and publish them on Japan Search. The maps will be standardized with bilingual metadata in Japanese and English to facilitate searching. Map Warper in Japan will make the maps available for non-commercial use, and will introduce crowdsourced georeferencing to improve the accuracy of the maps.
In this seminar, we will report on the digitization and publication of nearly 400 old Japanese maps held by the British Library, which has one of the world's largest map collections, and we will hear about the content from Dr Xia-Kang Ziyi of Oxford University.

Organizers: Kyoto Street Culture Archive: Memories of the Pop Culture Featuring the
Streets, and their Visualization (Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures); "Project for the Construction of an Archive of Non-Film Materials Related to Showa period Movie theatre Culture" (Kakenhi C); Art Research Center, Ritsumeikan University.
In the early Showa period, as motion pictures moved from silent films to "talkies," hand-drawn posters ornamented the interiors of Kyoto cinemas, advertising films currently being shown, and those upcoming. New films were largely being released weekly at that time, and it is easy to imagine that the number of posters would match this.
In this exhibit, we are featuring posters produced at the Shochiku corporation's Ofuna studios for display at the Shochiku-za, Ebisu-za, and other Shochiku-affiliated movie theatres. These include posters illustrated by Takeda Kosei (Ihachiro), who was famous at the time in the world of Kabuki for the posters and signboards he produced for Kyoto's Minami-za Kabuki theatre. Please enjoy this world of hand-drawn movie posters, designed with compositions, touches, and typefaces selected to suit each film. The exhibit also includes maps and photographs of Kyoto cinemas from the Showa 30s-40s (1950s-1970s), as well as photographic signboards, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the Kyoto of that time.
The hand-drawn posters in this exhibit are held by the Kyoto cinema posters production studio Takematsu Gabo and were displayed in Shochiku-affiliated cinemas in central Kyoto around 1928 to 1942. Similar posters were presumably displayed at other cinemas, but only these are known to survive, making them exceptionally important resources for knowing the environments of cinemas at that time. The studio's collection includes roughly 800 posters, all of which were made for Shochiku-affiliated cinemas. This three-day exhibit features roughly 60 posters made at the Shochiku Ofuna studios in 1936-1937, as well as original posters from live theatre venues and Kyoto Shochiku-affiliated cinemas' match announcements, for comparison.
