Hirano Denkichi (sold) (平野傳吉)


Hirano Denkichi (平野傳吉; fl. c. 1879 - 1886), also written 平野伝吉, was a Tokyo-based Japanese publisher of maps and books. In addition to maps of Tokyo, he produced a large national map of Japan (大日本道中細見) and a bird's eye view of Yokohama (横須賀明細一覧圖), among others. Briefly very active, his fortunes took a turn for the worse when he began publishing occult and apocalyptic books, which were banned by the authorities.
