"pname":"Collection Description",
"pvalue":"The Japanese Maps of the Tokugawa Era Collection is one of the largest collections of maps and guidebooks of the Edo period outside of Japan. It encompasses the George Beans and the George Bonn map collections, and its focus is on privately published and travel related maps and guides. A number of prominent Japanese ukiyoe artists are represented, among whom are Hishikawa Moronobu, Miyagawa Chōshun, Shiba Kōkan, Kuwagata Shōshin (Kitao Masayoshi), Katsushika Hokusai, Andō Hiroshige and Utagawa Sadahide.
The Japanese Maps of the Tokugawa Era Collection is fully digitized and freely accessible online:
https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/tokugawa
The Japanese Special Collection is a small but growing collection of printed books, manuscripts, prints and more. There are over 60 titles on Japanese religion and mythology from the Edo period, with emphasis on Buddhism, about 50 titles of works of pre-modern literature or literary criticism, and smaller numbers on language, history, art, and philosophy.
Some items from the Japanese Special Collection have been digitized and are available through UBC Library’s Open Collections:
