GEORGE BEANS COLLECTION OF JAPANESE MAPS OF THE TOKUGAWA PERIOD

The University of British Columbia Library acquired the Beans Collection of Japanese maps in 1965 from the original collector, George H. Beans of the Philadelphia Seed Company. Since then, the library has added to the collection, most notably in 1986 with the purchase of the George Bonn collection of 59 maps, 15 of which are manuscript maps. Beans collected his maps over a number of years, and had a catalogue, extending to three supplements, published under his own Tall Tree Library imprint. A List of Japanese Maps of the Tokugawa Era1 appeared in 1951, followed by the three supplements, A-C, between 1955 and 1963. The transfer of the Beans' collection from Pennsylvania to Vancouver was announced in the international journal for the history of cartography, Imago Mundi2, stating that "it is the [University's] intention to continue to develop it along the lines originally set out" by Mr. Beans in the introduction to his List. The Beans Collection is the largest collection outside of Japan, and one of the largest in the world, of maps and guidebooks of the Tokugawa period, ca. 1600-1867. A number of items are rare, and some are unique. There are over 1100 entries for the Japanese maps in the Library's catalogue, including maps in atlases and other books in the Beans Collection. Unlike most of the collections outside Japan, this collection does not contain many government or administrative maps. Its focus is on privately published and travel related maps and guides published in Japan during the Tokugawa or Edo period. There is world coverage, although the majority of maps are of the whole or parts of Japan. A number of prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artists are represented, among whom are: Hishikawa Moronobu, Miyagawa Chôshun, Shiba Kôkan, Kuwagata Keisai (Shôshin), Katsushika Hokusai, Ando Hiroshige and Hashimoto Sadahide. We have about 13 maps by Sadahide. Most of the maps by artists are travel related. Excluded from the collection are non-Japanese and post-1867 Japanese maps. Maps of Japan in European languages are in the Historical Map Collection. Present acquisition plans are to acquire original maps of the period not already in the collection, and significant material published in facsimile, as well as reference material in any language relating to early Japanese cartography. Holdings: 54 monographs (including atlases); 1 serial; 85 microforms; 276 separate maps (including 15 scrolls); 22 manuscripts (maps)3; 1 wood block; 2 ceramic plates. Geographical coverage breakdown:

1 Reviewed in Imago Mundi, v.10 (1953), p.136. 2 Imago Mundi, v.18 (1964, p.90. 3 Plus another 86 manuscript maps bound into books.

Prof. Kazutaka Unno, a professor emeritus in Geography,4 Osaka University, who helped to compile the List for Beans, was able to spend some time at UBC with the aid of a Japan Foundation grant. He looked at all the maps, including the addenda, revised all the entries in the List and its supplements, and prepared catalogue worksheets. These worksheets were the basis for a new online catalogue, with Library of Congress subject headings and classification. Publications Describing Collection: Batts, Misao Miriam.
