| Description4 |
The characters are written roughly from south to north as indicated on the map. The mountains, on the other hand, are depicted from the viewpoint of a passenger on a boat sailing westward on Lake Shinji-ko. The residence of the lord is specified as Suetsugu (Matsue) Castle, but there is no slip of paper indicating the lord’s name. District borders are drawn with their names inscribed. In addition, the map shows many temples and shrines, particularly Taisha (Izumo Grand Shrine). In the top left corner in the margin are given the number of districts, the total yield of rice for the province, and an explanation of district names. |
