This is an interesting and decorative folio sheet containing a small (4.5 x 6.2") map of Japan, titled Carte du Japon, and two larger engravings derived from Montanus: the murder of Emperor Cubo in a rebellion in 1564 and the arrival of Dutch Ambassadors in Japan 1644. The views are beautifully engraved in decorative borders and a royal family tree adds further interest. French text descriptions flank the map.
