Kyoto-shi meisai-zu (detailed maps of Kyoto city) Workshop
 |  (  PDF: 1.8MB) |
| Time and Date: | 17:30 to 19:30 (scheduled), Wednesday, July 15, 2011 |
| Place: | Conference Hall, Research Center for Disaster Mitigation of Urban Cultural Heritage |
| Sponsored by: | MEXT Global COE Program “Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures” (Ritsumeikan University), Art Research Center (Ritsumeikan University) |

The Kyoto-shi meisai-zu (291 maps in total) made available for public viewing at the Kyoto Prefectural Library and Archives in 2010 were first created in1927 and thereafter corrected on various occasions until 1951.
Despite a map like the one shown here—a fire insurance map—whose details can tell us a lot about the landscape in Kyoto during the modern period, much of the information on how the map was drawn and other details, including the years it was corrected, remains unclear.
To that end, we are holding a workshop to bring experts on maps and the urban structuring of Kyoto in the modern period together to discuss the possibilities of further understanding and utilizing the Kyoto-shi meisai-zu maps.
| Workshop program: | Introduction 1. On the overview of Kyoto-shi meisai-zu 2. On the compilation of a database of Kyoto-shi meisai-zu Naomi Akaishi (Postdoctoral Fellow, Kinugasa Research Organization) 3. What we can learn from the drawing of Kyoto-shi meisai-zu (includes practical map-making) Mitsutoshi Mori (Mori Tsubo) 4. Discussion Chair: Keiji Yano (Professor at the Faculty of Letters, Ritsumeikan University) |
