Item details
Ancient Edition Japanese Map
These ancient maps were created during Japan's Sakoku period, based on information relayed by Dutch, Italian, and German individuals residing on Dejima in Nagasaki, as well as through Christian missionaries to Europe. Since Marco Polo's "The Travels of Marco Polo" introduced Japan to Europe, it has been referred to as the Island of Gold. Most maps are marked with the silver mines of Iwami and the gold mines of Sado.
Correct Map of the Japanese Empire, Carta Accvrata Dell Imperious Del Giappone, produced by Isaac Tirion, a mapmaker from Amsterdam, Netherlands, mid-18th century, 1730-1760. Place names are marked in Italian and Latin, with Jedo (Edo) and Meaco (Kyoto) indicated. Hokkaido is marked as Ezo, without detailed annotation. Front dimensions: width 345mm, height 255mm.
