The presentation introduces the current state of the Japan Biographical Database (jbdb.jp). The tools of the database allow us to visualize a variety of network types which I will introduce and discuss with a main focus on the records of the Rai family of Hiroshima with records of Rai Shizu and Rai Shunsui.
