Abstract

Various drawing papers was used for the Inoh’s maps. I observed and measured those drawing papers of Inoh’s maps including shitazu, araezu, and I classified those papers to seven kinds. One is to-shi made of bamboo from China. The others are all made of Kozo (paper malberry) in Japan. I think that these paper are each called mino-shi,oh-banshi,tengujo,nishinouchi-shi,sugihara-shi and han-shi at the same time. I think that the drawing paper was chosen by function and sociality. So the quality of drawing paper and the stage or purpose of cartography are closely related.
