*''Japanese'': 伊能忠敬 ''(Inou Tadataka)''
Inô Tadataka was a geographer hired by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] in the early years of the 19th century to survey the realm. Traveling the [[Japanese archipelago]] in [[1800]]-[[1816]], Inô produced the first ''[[kuniezu]]'' maps of Japan to be produced using thorough surveying methods; the resulting collection of 225 maps,<ref>Including 214 large-scale maps, 8 medium-scale, and 3 small-scale maps.</ref> entitled the ''Dai nihon enkai yochi zenzu'', was compiled and submitted to the shogunate in [[1821]]. While the areas covered by Inô's maps are incredibly detailed and accurate, they also leave numerous empty (unsurveyed, unknown) spaces.
