Transcription Notes:
possible map of Edo? Torii gate denotes Shinto shrine, Swastika denotes Buddhist temple. ^ Concur that the upper part of the page appears to be a street diagram of Edo - Shin Yoshiwara (New Yoshiwara was the red-light district); and the Hyakkaen is a garden constructed during the Edo Period. I am quite sure this matches up to a section of modern day Sumida City, Tokyo - and that the diagonal lines denote the Sumida River between local prefecture roads 306 and 319. The bottom half are mostly sktches of signatures/seals/chopmarks of woodblock print ukiyo-e artists. I used a lot of double brackets to denote all of the boxed-in text. Not sure how else to indicate this?
