Map of Japan, showing The Relations of Elevations and Depressions to the Lines of equal Magnetic Declination. In Illustration of Dr. Edmund Naumann’s paper on the “Physical Geography of Japan.” // Sketch Map of Japan showing the routes of Dr. Edmund Naumann's Journey'. Edmund Naumann’s Japan map reflects scientific rather than imperial exploration. Naumann, the German geologist often described as the father of modern geology in Japan, spent the Meiji period surveying and interpreting the Japanese archipelago. This map links elevations, depressions and magnetic declination, showing Japan as a physical system rather than merely a political territory. The accompanying route sketch records Naumann’s field journeys and belongs to the moment when Japan was being rapidly mapped through Western scientific methods. .
