[Webinar] Mapping Medieval Japan, 11-12.02.2022 (PST)

Maps have long been a crucial element in historical studies:  they not only help us to determine locations but also to analyze connections and conflict among people, and help us to understand how people interacted in physical space that often influenced, even dictated, their interactions.  Maps help us to understand the changing layouts of cities over time, the ways in which people cooperated or fought over resource use, or patterns of trade and transport on both land and sea.  Recent advances in mapmaking—3-dimensional mapping and the use of GIS data, for example—have helped us to locate and to visualize some of these processes and interactions. 

In this two-day seminar on maps and mapmaking, participants will pay special attention to the use of maps in pre-modern Japanese history, and will have the opportunity to learn to make their own maps using computer-based mapmaking tools in a hands-on workshop.
