#japan map

You need an old map. Google for something like “Japan old provinces”. The provinces do not match modern day prefectures.

For more details on territory sizes, please look at this post instead. Even though for whatever strange reason Tenka/SLBP refused to have Nobu move out of Kiyosu up until Azuchi happened, after gaining more territory he moved castles at least 2 times before Azuchi.　

Highlighted a rough approximate of Date clan territory here so that even if you don’t want to open the link, you don’t misunderstand and think that Masa owns a massive amount of land. He doesn’t own the whole of Oshu.  

I look forward to see the Date-Uesugi squabbling tbh… 

Mentioned some other places because relevant. Osaka is where weirdo monk Kennyo’s Honganji is. Kyoto is the city, but the province is Yamashiro.

Suffice to say, it contains many amusing advertisements, including the one on the front cover which is for... some kind of hormone supplement lotion?

Here are some simple drawings of map to illustrate how things are. 

 In simplest way, Japan is like that...and so is Tokyo. And Motokyo is focusing on the east side of Tokyo in blue highlights, which is called 23 ku (ward or county for you). It's the most exciting area of Tokyo (no offense to the west side people).
