Ino Tadataka: A Seriously Unbelievable Person

He walked all over Japan with a unified stride to measure accurately and created a very precise map.

If you think about it normally, it's crazy.
It's more understandable if he copied a map shown by aliens.

Aliens spotted!

He must have thought, "Isn't this too wide?" halfway through.

It's a bit off, isn't it?

But it's only slightly off.

He's the most amazing cultural figure in Japanese history.

He's an extraordinary person, you can tell from his surname.

What's the reason for the discrepancy in the Tohoku region?

>>13
It was at the beginning, so it took time to get the hang of it.

There were really a lot of talented people in the Edo period.

And he started learning surveying techniques after he turned 50, right?
I genuinely think that's amazing!

Ino Tadataka: "Absolute surveying – Auto mapping!"

>>22
That might actually be it.
Minor discrepancies are understandable since it's on paper.

Did he go to the remote islands and measure them too?
That's insane.

How did he manage his living expenses during the surveying?

>>28
It was funded by the shogunate.

Isn't there a theory that Ino Tadataka was a ninja?

Oku no Hosomichi

Even if they showed the finished map, people back then wouldn't know if it was accurate.

Even if I walked along the coast, I wouldn't be able to draw something like that.
I wouldn't even know which direction I'm facing or walking.

The Hokkaido area is a bit rough.

Originally, he was like a mayor who revitalized the local economy.
→ Started learning surveying from someone younger after retirement.
→ Completed the map of Japan.

It's like a light novel, but he was originally a person who loved studying.

I wish he had become as famous as Mollweide or Mercator.

I know Ino Tadataka is truly amazing, but everyone should understand that he was also very knowledgeable.

Starting this at 56 is insane.

I looked it up, and part of Ezo was surveyed by Mamiya Rinzo, who learned surveying techniques from Ino Tadataka.

>>78
That's right, like Magellan, the main person died.

Old Japanese people had crazy stamina.
If the documents are accurate, the speed of palanquins and rickshaws was only possible for Olympic-level athletes.

Ino Tadataka, the extraordinary.

Old Japanese women were said to carry two bales of rice.

It would be interesting to make a Taiga drama starring Yutaka Matsushige.
Include scenes of surveying and eating.

He must have encountered bears a few times.
At that time, mountain development wasn't advanced at all, and in Hokkaido, bears would appear even outside the mountains.

>>102
There would have been wolves and bandits too, so he must have had samurai with him.

Tadataka: "I'm walking and measuring all over Japan."
Checkpoint officer: "What the heck is this guy talking about?"

I googled it, and apparently, he surveyed 49 km in a day.

...That has to be a lie.

The fact that he walked is already mind-blowing.
How fit was he?

He must have been shown by aliens.

Ino Tadataka would probably get furious if he met Moses.
He went through all that trouble to measure, and Moses increased the land.

They should feature him on Project X.

>>127
They can't invite the people involved to the studio...

An old man who made a map of Japan as a hobby in his later years.

By the way, this is the map of Japan before Ino Tadataka.

>>136
Northeast Tohoku is ignored, lol.

>>136
It's terrible that this was official rather than a rough sketch for personal use.

>>136
They should have tried a bit harder.

>>136
Noto Peninsula is forgotten here too.

>>136
No one expected someone like Ino, who could pull off such insanity.
If I were alive back then, I would have given this map a "well done" rating.

A certain voice actor's map of Japan.

Play Nobunaga's Ambition.

>>154
It's not funny even as a gag.

In reality, he mostly observed the coastline from high points and traced it.
He didn't walk and measure; he walked to adjust the scale and correct the perspective from high points.

>>210
Even so, his sense of distance is incredible.

>>210
Japan being an island nation helped. If it were Mongolia, Ino Tadataka would have despaired.

>>215
>>218
Thanks for the replies.
By the way, I just made up that explanation.

>>221
LOL

>>221
Nice reveal.

>>221
Die.

>>221
Oh my...
