Map shows the Nihonbashi district of Tokyo, Japan. This area was a major mercantile center during the Edo period and is one of the largest financial districts in the city today. Highly detailed, the map locates important buildings, streets and vast waterways in the area reminiscent of Venice. Map folds into stiff printed boards (3.5 x 6.5") with Japanese characters on front and blank verso. Printed on two sheets, joined. A fascinating work of Japanese craftsmanship.
