1735 · Hand-coloured engraved map
Het koninkryk Japan
Engelbert Kaempfer and Johann Caspar Scheuchzer
Why it matters
The map announces that it combines original Japanese maps with Kaempfer's observations. Its visual certainty therefore records a chain of translation, copying, and publication rather than an unmediated European survey.
