Superb small map derived from Hondius' folio map of Japan. It is based on the Ortelius/Teixeira type with Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku depicted with approximately the correct proportions. Meaco (Kyoto) is located in the center, and many other place names are noted. A deftly engraved strapwork title cartouche incorporates a compass rose. French text on verso, published between 1609-14.
