Map of Feudal Japan

[Niccolo]

Hi Dojo Members and Hi Stan!

This is my first post so I'll introduce myself a little bit.

I've been collecting Usagi Yojimbo for the last 5 years. I was introduced to Usagi by watching the Ninja Turtles cartoon back when I was a kid. I really enjoy reading and collecting Usagi, keep up the excellent work Stan!

I am looking for a good map of Feudal Japan for a research project I am doing. I'm hoping to find a map in the Usagi Comics drawn in your art style, Stan. I know there is a map in Grasscutter Part 1, but is there any others in other issues, and is there a diagram somewhere that shows where Usagi travels (like where Usagi's village is on a map/where that region is located/where Kitanojo temple is located/the Atsuta shrine)

Thanks guys!

There is a map of feudal Japan in the UY RPG book, as well as a timeline with major events in the UY universe. I don't recall seeing any other accurate maps. I believe the timeline cannot be posted here because it was especially made for the RPG book and was not to be published elsewhere, although I'm not too sure.

However, Google is your friend and will help you out whenever a problem comes by . A quick search shows us the official Atsuta Shrine webpage, and you can probably find much more info if you look hard enough (besides Google, you can also check out the Wikipedia).

And last but not least, welcome to the Dojo Niccolo. Yoroshiku .

We used to have a cool map of Feudal Japan here on the UYD, with the locations of places like Mutsu Province, the Geishu Province, and Usagi's Village, among other places. You can even click on the places and "visit" them. When we revamped the site, we basically had to convert everything back over to the new format. The map will return soon! We are slowly getting everything back on the UYD. If you got through the links, you can see a lot of the original features have returned recently.

Here's the map for the interested...it will return soon!

Ziritrion is correct about the UY timeline in the RPG book. Even though it was written long ago by the UY Dojo, we made an agreement with Gold Rush Games that we would not reprint it on the UYD site. Thing is, the timeline is old, does not include a lot of the DHC issues from the past several years, and is slightly inaccurate on the placement of the UY Color Special stories. Originally we placed the Color Special stories (like "Tomoe's Story", and "The Doors") during Usagi's stay with the Geishu Clan between issues #17 and 18 of UY Vol. 1 (The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy). This has since changed, and those stories actually take place sometime in the future (we haven't gotten there yet in the current UY series).

I know it's kind of dead topic, but...

I made "map" of usagi yojimbo japan

the clan names are from uy books (but i have no idea when to put them, so i tried to guess, and so sanada is near geishu etc...) its based on this old map that shogun posted here / i was looking for uy map for my small usagi rpg session, i didnt find it, so i tried to make something.

/ the line is wanderer road

UPDATE

so i updated this map.

I found 2 daimyos and added them.

I'm Talking about Araki (mentioned in fathers and sons) and Hirone (full of them in lone goat...and a story in daisho)

i fixed shiGOreta to shiROgeta

Great map! I would love to see Stan do an official map of Usagi's wanderings, or at least Usagi's Japan, as part of a story or special (hint, hint).

I am amazed at how far apart the Geishu clan and the lands of Usagi's former Lord Mifune.... Usagi sure has done some walking over the years!
