The "Shinkoku Nihon Yochi Rotei Zenzu" (新刻日本輿地路程全図), translated as the "New Version of Map of Land and Roads in Japan," is a significant cartographic work by Nagakubo Sekisui, a prominent Japanese geographer and cartographer of the Edo period. First published in 1779, this map represents a pivotal advancement in Japanese cartography, reflecting the growing interest in accurate geographical representation and the practical needs of travelers and administrators during that era.

Nagakubo Sekisui, born in 1717, was a scholar deeply influenced by both traditional Japanese and Western cartographic techniques. His work on the "Shinkoku Nihon Yochi Rotei Zenzu" was groundbreaking for its time, incorporating precise measurements and a systematic approach to mapping that was relatively novel in Japan. Sekisui's map was not merely a static representation of the country's geography; it was a dynamic tool designed to aid in navigation and travel, detailing roads, distances, and significant landmarks across Japan.

The map is notable for its detailed depiction of the Japanese archipelago, including the main islands of Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido, as well as numerous smaller islands. It also features an intricate network of roads, which were essential for the movement of people and goods during the Edo period. The inclusion of distances between key locations was particularly useful for travelers and officials who relied on accurate information for planning their journeys.

Sekisui's work was highly regarded for its accuracy and comprehensiveness, setting a new standard for Japanese cartography. The "Shinkoku Nihon Yochi Rotei Zenzu" was widely used and reprinted, influencing subsequent generations of mapmakers and contributing to the development of more sophisticated mapping techniques in Japan. Today, it is considered a valuable historical document, offering insights into the geographical knowledge and travel practices of the Edo period.
