Japanese History
Chuko Shinsho / Maps depicting medieval manors, pictures of lost great monasteries and castles, lists of warlords, family trees, etc. These are valuable historical materials for learning about the history of the area, and have been used in municipal history and school materials. But what if it was a forged document of a later age? And what if it was created by only one person? This book is an attempt to reveal the whole picture of hundreds of forged documents created by Tsubai Masataka (1770-1837), circulated throughout the Kinki region, and continue to influence until now.
