Drawing from the Crowd is the first citizen science platform designed to extract spatial data directly from Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) at scale. Edo-period (1603-1868) landscape prints depicted real places across Japan, but each print modeled a specific viewing position for its audience. Discovering which viewpoints the prints placed their viewers into, and distinguishing topographically grounded elements from artistic invention, requires a scale of interpretation that neither computers nor individual researchers can accomplish alone. Using a 3D georeferencing tool called Smapshot, developed by HEIG-VD and EPFL in Switzerland, volunteers align historical prints with a modern terrain model of Japan. The workflow guides participants through positioning a virtual camera until ridgelines, coastlines, and landmarks in the print approximately match the digital landscape. This process reveals how artists compressed mountains, shifted rivers, or invented views that never quite existed. No prior knowledge of Japanese art or history is required. Each print takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Even unsuccessful matches are valuable data, as they help identify prints depicting imaginary or heavily stylized landscapes rather than observed topography. Volunteer contributions are aggregated into a growing spatial dataset that enables researchers to trace how representations of specific places changed across artists and decades, revealing when prints engaged with observable geography and when they followed artistic or literary convention. This data feeds directly into peer-reviewed research on spatial representation in early modern Japanese visual culture, with significant volunteer contributions credited in publications. The project is led by Dr. Stephanie Santschi at the University of Zurich and supported by the Nippon Foundation and the UZH Graduate Research Campus. Print collections currently include works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Diet Library via Japan Search, and the Taito City Lifelong Learning Center, featuring artists such as Hiroshige, Hokusai, Kuniyoshi, and Eisen.
