Antique maps and prints of Japan include atlas maps, treaty-port plans, harbour charts, woodblock prints and views of landscape and daily life. Dennys’s maps of Yokohama and Tokyo Bay sit alongside Murray’s handbook plans, works by Hokusai and Mortimer Menpes, and maps of the 1923 earthquake. Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nagasaki feature prominently, with later military surveys documenting Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1946.
