- Scope and Contents
- The map shows topographical features and various temple structures and monastaries, including the Buddha figures carved on mountain cliffs. There is also a handwritten poem in Chinese ideographs, perhaps by a Buddhist devotee, signed Issen dōnin and dated "Hōreki kino-to-u" (the year of the hare during the Hōreki period [1757-1763]). An English label misidentifies the location of Rakanji as Nagasaki Prefecture (it is located in Otia Prefecture).
- Collection Restrictions
- The collection is open for research. Access to the collection requires an appointment.
