Pre-Event for Commemorating
the 200th Anniversary of Inoh Tadataka’s Death
2016 Special Exhibition

The Boundary between Map and Art
  ― The 200-Year Accomplishment of the Inoh Maps
       and Panoramic Landscape Paintings ―

From October 25, 2016 to December 18, 2016

 While the Inoh Maps are modern style surveyed maps, it makes use of traditional Japanese painting and western style painting skills for its topographical depiction. One of these skills used in the maps is the bird’s-eye projection by which it depicts the landscape as if to look down from the sky. Drawn based on the subjective view of the drawer or being deformed, the bird’s-eye projection has not been used in standard modern maps. It is a technique which has rather been succeeded in the panoramic landscape works depicted by the artists of posterity like Gountei Sadahide active towards the end of the Edo period or Meiji period, and Yoshida Hatsusaburo, Matsui Tenzan in the Taisho and Showa period.
 In this Exhibition, focusing on the depiction of landscapes and topography of the Inoh Maps, we will also introduce the works of landscapes by Shiba Kokan and Aoudou Denzen who had a close relationship with Inoh Tadataka at that time, together with another history of landscape drawings from the Inoh Maps to the bird’s-eye projections at the end of Edo, Meiji and Taisho period.
