The Geography of Japan.
Until Ino Chukei finished his labor
of love In 1821 nothing like an au
thentic map of Japan existed. His
career was remarkable, for It was not
until he had reached the age of fifty
five yearshaving been a sake brewer
from boyhoodthat he turned his at
tention to surveying. His maps were
found to be so good and so free from
errors that they were adopted as the
basts of the trigonometrical survey of
Japan. During his work he surveyed
137,000 square miles, using instru
ments which be made himself but he
met with no reward during his life,
for on the termination of his undertak
ing he was thrown Into prison by the
Shoguns, and he remained there until
he died. He has since been honored
by a 'fevnuinent, erected to his mem
ory in *tokyo.
