Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 2nd Edition. (JAPAN)Ishikawa, (Tomonobu Toshiyuku) Ryusen. Nihon Kaisan chôriku zu. (Map of the Seas, Mountains, and Lands of Japan) Edo, Sagamiya Tahe (publisher) Genroku 4. 1691. Handcoloured woodblock-printed map of Japan (overall size 104 x 181cm; print area 81 x 167.5cm), made up of individual sheets. Folded in original blue paper wrapper decorated with plant motifs on soft cardboard (27 x 18.5cm); calligraphic title label; edges worn; rubbed. Preserved in stiff cloth folder. A superb large travel map of Japan, innovative for the wealth of additional detail contained. Charted are the provinces of ancient Japan, its fortified towns, land and water routes, post stations and ferry crossings. The size of the map allowed the inclusion of travel itineraries for the main highways, shipping and sea routes, as well as images of temples, shrines and other places of interest, The area covered extends from Ryuku (Okinawa) in the south west to Tsushima in the north and Matsumae (Hokkaido) in the north east; Korea and the sea of Busan feature in the northwest . The principal nautical routes are indicated; a table in the upper margin gives distances from Nagasaki (then the only port open) to China (Nanjing & Fukien), Indonesia (Jakarta), Vietnam (Tonkin), Cambodia, and Thailand. Numerous ships, decoratively depicted, are shown sailing from the west to the southern seas. A striking feature of the map are multiple squares in various sizes giving the locations of the castles of the Daimyo, or regional lords, sometimes with sketches of buildings and surrounds, and values of their fiefs with details of income from rice cultivation (koku-daka) Ishikawa (fl. 1680-1713), commercial cartographer, woodblock master, book illustrator and printmaker, created useful travel guides by re-designing and improving earlier shogunate maps with the latest available information on the country; his map of Japan was first published in 1689. He is thought to be a pupil of Hishikawa Moronobu. The German naturalist, Engelbert Kaempfer, acquired a copy of an Ishikawa map during his visit to Japan in 1692, and adapted it for his History of Japan published in 1727, the first western book on Japan. As the country was generally closed to foreigners at that time, Kaempfer's version of the Ishikawa map remained the chief source of western knowledge of Japan, as it was successively plagiarized by French, Dutch, English and German mapmakers throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries. Some light wear, intersectional folds with occasional staining, a few minor repairs without loss, but generally in good, original condition.

Eight charming colour woodblock pochibukuro or miniature envelopes, each measuring 9.5 x 6cm presented in a folded paper packet with delightful colour image on upper cover. A set of eight woodblock printed pochibukuro - miniature envelopes used in Japan for giving money or other gifts at New Year - probably dating from the late Meiji period. The envelopes feature images of hagoita, the decorated wooden battledores used in hanetsuki, a game similar to badminton, traditionally played at New Year to drive away evil spirits. Because of their special association with the holiday, images of hagoita were often incorporated into the envelopes used to present otoshidama - New Year's money gifts for children. These unused pochibukuro come in their own paper folder attractively decorated with a pattern of shuttlecocks. …

On one side each of two leaves of thin laid paper (quality of tissue). Both leaves are good: lightly creased and spotted on aged paper. The first leaf (roughly 19 x 18 cm) carries six illustrations, arranged 2 x 3, and with the captions reading: 'Price 2s/6d | a way of purifying sea water'; 'Price 1s/6d | preparation Acid Sulphuric'; 'Price of block | 1s/- | Physician Galenical School'; 'Price 1/- | cold still'; 'Price 1/- | Pelican'; '2s/6d | distillation'. Printers blue pencil around third woodcut. The second leaf (roughly 24 x 18.5 cm) carries four illustrations, arranged 2 x 2, the largest two being roughly 8 x 6 cm. The captions read: 'Bufonites' (from the 'Hortus Sanitatis' of 1497, showing a man extracting a bezoar stone from the head of a frog); 'preparation medicinal earths'; 'obtaining draconites' and 'Hippocrates sleeve'. Along one margin: 'Please return specimens'. The 'Bufonites' engraving is certainly a skillful copy, and it may be that the cuts were originally produced for a Roxburghe-Club-type publication, before joining the printer's stock.…
