Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 4to (31 cm), 232, [6] pp. Publisher's laminated wrappers (minor shelf wear). Published in conjunction with the Japan Society Gallery, New York exhibition, Japan: A Cartographic Vision celebrates the spectacular and colorful maps of Japan produced by Europeans. It traces the evolving depiction of Japan by Western explorers and cartographers, from the crude and fanciful representations of the early 16th century to the first accurate maps published in the mid-19th century. Essays by international experts provide the historical context of over three centuries of European contact with Japan. The period spans early encounters with Portuguese missionaries and merchants, followed by Dutch and English traders in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and concludes with Japan's self-imposed 200-year isolation, during which Western contact was limited to the Dutch trading post on the small, man-made island of Dejima. A key feature of the book is the List of Printed Maps of Japan before 1900, a valuable resource for map historians and collectors. Comprising 128 items, this list incorporates recent research and updates Dr. Tony Campbell's pioneering work Japan: European Printed Maps to 1800 (1967).…
