This is a very detailed and colorful woodblock map of Kyoto, the former imperial capital of Japan. This Japanese produced map is centered on a bird's-eye plan of the city surrounded by the Kamo River and the rolling hills of the countryside. The plan is highly detailed with individual blocks shown and important buildings and streets named, all in Japanese. The map is very finely printed with the color applied by block. Around the map the surrounding hills are drawn falling away as if viewed in each direction from the city center. The pocket map is folded and still attached to stiff covers.
