A handsome map Japan, based on the cartography of Kaempfer-Scheuzer. The map extends to Korea, a portion of the coast of China to Canton, the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan (Formosa). The map is titled in both French and Dutch, with some place names in both as well. A decorative title cartouche fills the lower right corner.

Superb impression on fine laid paper with a couple of minor spots in the right margin, not affecting the map.
