An overview look as of August 2020 at my collection of transit timetables, maps, schedules, ride guides, etc. that I've amassed so far. Many of these were picked up while visiting and fanning different systems, and several others were kindly given to me by fellow transit enthusiasts. This series of photos is based loosely by state or providence, but sometime city or region depending on what I actually have.

I named this book after the map that I used for the end-papers on this book. Inspired by the cotton-candy colors of the map I cut out some tiny bunnies (not alien heads~) and flowers from Japanese washi paper to decorate the outside. The cover on which the bunnies cavort is made from sturdy cotton bookcloth. The spine is made from a more elegant rayon book cloth and I like the way that the rough cotton and silky rayon meet.
The text block was hand-cut and sewn by me, the edges of the paper were cut to make them smooth. Personally, I find that smooth-edged pages are easier to turn.

Il mappamondo di Fra Mauro (1459-60) recentemente restaurato sarà nuovamente visibile nelle Sale Monumentali della Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia in occasione della mostra "San Michele in Isola. Isola della conoscenza" dal
12 Maggio al 2 Settembre 2012 nell'ambito della mostra. Il planisfero della Biblioteca Marciana è leggermente ellittico e iscritto in un quadrato con i lati di 2,23 metri; è privo di scala, così come di meridiani e paralleli; il suo orientamento vede il Sud riprodotto nella parte superiore, secondo l’uso islamico e al contrario del tipo tolemaico (Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia).

Nansenbushu Map – Japanese woodblock print from 1710
This is the map that we have looked at extensively in class. Seeing it up close was very different from looking at a digitalized photo in lecture. I was surprised by the amount of detail in the map and it was really interesting that one can see the “artist’s hand” in the map. There were areas of the map that did not match up perfectly, which is where each woodblock ended, there were parts that showed double printing and looks slightly out of focus, and one can also see where the smaller pieces of paper were pasted together to create this one big map. It’s a strikingly beautiful piece of work.
This map is a great example of how travel narratives move from one country to another and manifest into a visual record. There are many places where one can see signs of influence from the writings of either Fa Hian, Xuanzang, or Wu’s Monkey. For example, in many province looking places on the map, the characters would say something like “周七千里” which means the circumference of the location is 7 thousand li in distance. This was information that was listed in the writings of Xuanzang for all the places he traveled through on his journey to and through India. It is very likely that the Japanese mapmaker derived these numbers directly from those records. Also, there were large long areas of dots that people were confused about. Upon examining the characters, I realized that they said something along the lines of “Great Flowing Sand River”, which is really interesting because the character Sandy from “Monkey” supposedly lived at the bottom of a great flowing sand river. There are many salient parallels between these literature and this map.
This map also challenges our traditional notions of what a map is used for. The priority of this map is very religiously focused so accuracy of dimensions and shapes are less important than in maps we are more familiar with. The center of the map is the place of the Buddha, and there are circular patterns drawn around it, which is what my photo shows. Travels to seek the Buddhist scriptures dominate the message of this map, and to that end, I think it was successful in achieving its purpose. A lot of other things in the map are probably just there for decorative purposes. The detailed mountain ranges are probably not extremely accurate, nor are the rivers. It would be interesting to superimpose a modern map of India on top of this map to see where the deviations occur. Furthermore, methods for measuring distances were probably very primitive during that time, so the fact that India is recognizable should already be an impressive feat.

December 27, 2018 - "The Madaba Map is the oldest extant map of the Holy Land and is dated to the middle of the 6th century AD. It was discovered in the 19th century, during an excavation and reconstruction of a mosaic floor in St George’s Church in Madaba, Jordan. The mosaic map was created according to the Old and New Testaments by Greek monk Salmanos. The map represents biblical sites: Jordan river and mount Nebo in Jordan; Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho – on the Western bank of Jordan River in Palestine and Israel, Delta Nile and Sinai desert in Egypt.
Jerusalem is the biggest city on the map. The map depicts some famous Old City structures such as the Damascus Gate, St. Steven’s Gate, the Golden Gate, the gate leading to Mount Zion, the Citadel (Tower of David), the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Cardo Maximus.Jerusalem is the biggest city on the map.

The mosaic Map of Madaba was discovered in 1896 by chance. This discovery drew the city to the attention of scholars worldwide. Nowadays, Saint George’s Church became one of the most visited tourist sites in Jordan. Pilgrims from all around the world come to Madaba to see the original mosaic floor.
Greek - Orthodox St. George's Church is active and used for church services. During the service the mosaic map is covered by carpet." Previous text is from the following website: saintgeorgechurch.blogspot.com/2014/03/mosaic-map-of-mada...
This map is updated with the KTM Komuter extension from Rawang to Kuala Kubu Bharu. Oddly, maps in the city still do not show the extension despite its having opened in 2008.
