A literary map of Every-day Japan (1909) by Arthur Lloyd — an English clergyman and scholar who spent twenty-five years teaching in Meiji Japan, writing an affectionate survey of the country he had made his home.

Each pin marks a real place named in the book — from the wards, markets and parks of old Tokyo out across the whole country: Nikko, Kamakura, Hakone and Mount Fuji, the silk and tea districts, the Inland Sea, Kyoto and Kobe, and down to Nagasaki and Kagoshima.

Blue pins survive today; amber pins are gone. Green pins are whole wards, districts or cities — an approximate area rather than an exact spot. Click any pin for the book’s own words and the place’s fate.
