*''Japanese'': 国絵図 ''(kuni e zu)''
''Kuni e zu'', or "country maps," are highly detailed maps commissioned by national entities such as the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. The shogunate ordered surveys of the archipelago on four occasions: in the Keichô (early 17th c.), Shôhô (mid-17th c.), [[Genroku]] (late 17th-early 18th c.) and Tenpô (early-mid 19th c.) [[Japanese Eras|eras]]. Prior to the Tenpô surveys, the shogunate hired [[Ino Tadataka|Inô Tadataka]] to produce a series of 225 maps of the realm, which were ultimately completed and compiled in [[1821]] as the ''Dai nihon enkai yochi zenzu''.
