Nagakubo Sekisui (1717-1801), also known as Nagakubo Taku, was a Japanese  cartographer, and philosopher during the Edo period. He was born in Edo (present-day Tokyo) and studied under the famous Confucian scholar Yamamoto Sanehiko. Sekisui is primarily known for his contributions to the fields of geography, cartography, and natural history.

Sekisui's most notable work is the "Dai Nihon Sankai Yochi Zenzu" (大日本山海輿地全図), which translates to "Complete Map of the Mountains and Seas of Great Japan." Published in 1785, this large-scale map of Japan was highly detailed and encompassed the various provinces, mountains, rivers, and coastlines of the country. It was one of the most accurate and comprehensive maps of Japan at the time.

In addition to cartography, Sekisui also delved into philosophy and wrote several influential works, including "Kibōroku" (記蒲録), which discussed political and social issues of the time. He emphasized the importance of practical learning and knowledge rooted in direct observation and experience.

Nagakubo Sekisui's contributions to cartography and his philosophical writings made him a respected figure in the intellectual circles of the Edo period. His works continue to be studied and appreciated for their insights into the geography and history of Japan.
