Catalogue Note
This large-scale map depicts the thirteen provinces from which Mount Fuji is visible. It is also unusual in the manner in which Mount Fuji itself is delineated, with a distinctive pattern of hachuring to denote the circular mountain slopes.
Akiyama's map was highly praised and was repeatedly re-issued through to the early Meiji period, and a reduced version was later engraved on copper.
