Description :
Nowadays the Geographical Survey Institute is in Japan the most important organism for making scientific, systematic and accurate urban maps. To meet demands for much more detailed, updated town information, private companies publish urban maps and atlases. They give a reminiscence of the urban picture maps designed as guide maps during the end of the Tokugawa feudal period (mid-nineteenth century). - (SGA)
