Description

Striking early map of Japan and Korea, published in Paris by Pierre Mariette.

Briet's map follows the Blancus/Moreira model, and looks very similar to the Christophoros Blancus unpublished map of 1617.

The map shows a well-shaped Japan with named provinces, and major cities including Tokyo (Yendo) and Kyoto (Meaco). Kyushu and Shikoku are shown with exaggerated inlets, and the tip of Hokkaido is Terre de Iesso. Korea is described as an island, but is only partially shown.

Condition Description

Trimmed to the neatlines, with new margins added in the style of a Lafreri map. Minor soiling.

Reference

Walters #32, OAG 31; Cortazzi, Isles of Gold #67.

This kawaraban shows the portraits of two officers, an American and a Russian, with explanatory text printed around these figures it reflects the interest in these two powerful countries following their arrival in Japan in 1853. It seems likely that the two men depicted are Commodore Matthew C. Perry and Vice-Admiral (later Count) Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin, although neither are named, as both visited Japan during 1853 in an effort to open trade with Japan. The accompanying texts describe the United States and Russia respectively.
