2024年度定期大会巡検報告『長久保赤水の関連史料と史跡を訪ねて』

抄録

This report presents a field excursion conducted on August 26, 2024, focusing on historical materials and sites related to Nagakubo Sekisui (1717-1801), a geographer of the Edo period. Participants examined original editions of the Kaisei nihon yochi rotei zenzu (commonly known as the “Sekisui Map”) and related materials, which are compiled maps that circulated in Japan, with several copies also found overseas. The excursion also included visits to key local sites such as the Takahagi City Folk Historical Museum, Sekisui’s former residence, and his grave. Through on-site explanations and discussions, the participants deepened their understanding of the historical significance of Nagakubo Sekisui and his maps, particularly their educational value and the ongoing efforts for dissemination and educational outreach.
