Marcia Yonemoto's wide-ranging history of ideas traces changing conceptions and representations of space by looking at the roles played by writers, artists, commercial publishers, and the Shogunal government in helping to fashion a new awareness of space and place in this period. Her impressively researched study shows how spatial and geographical knowledge confined to elites in early Japan became more generalized, flexible, and widespread in the Tokugawa period. In the broadest sense, her book grasps the elusive processes through which people came to name, to know, and to interpret their worlds in narrative and visual forms.Asia--local studies/global themes ;7.National characteristics, JapaneseEthnopsychologyJapanJapanCivilization1600-1868cartography.commercial publishers.early modern japan.east asia.encyclopedia.geographical knowledge.geography.gesaku.government power.japan.japanese history.japanese studies.mapmaking.maps.modern japan.national identity.nonfiction.poetry.popular culture.popular fiction.power of maps.realm.representation of space.samurai.satire comics.satire.sense of space.shogunal.shogunate.social commentary.space and place.space theory.tokugawa edo period.tokugawa.travel writing.travel.travelogue.National characteristics, Japanese.Ethnopsychology915.204/25Yonemoto Marcia1964-1583377MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783035003321Mapping early modern Japan3866413UNINA
