An expert on maps after the earthquake and before and after the war!
Please know Nagaharu Numajiri!
What kind of buildings were there in the area from the Great Kanto Earthquake to before and after the Pacific War?
Isn't there a lot of people who felt confused and gave up due to the lack of materials?
What is useful at that time
This is a special map of fire insurance.
It was created for the purpose of promoting the business of fire insurance companies.
Among them, the most famous is the one made by Nagaharu Numajiri.
It seems that fire insurance was made from places where fire insurance was needed, so wouldn't Chuo-ku (Nihonbashi-ku / Kyobashi-ku) be the best one?
At first, it seems that it was not held in the Diet Library.
(It seems that it is held now.)
⚪︎ How did you find it?
⚪How is it written on the map?
⚪︎ Drawers used for hand-drawn maps (It seems that you can see them except during the lecture on the day)
etc
It seems that a lecture explaining the charm can be heard at the book forest Chuo.
