Overall a very good copy of this important work. "Kaempfer was a well known German physician and naturalist with a passion for travelling. Before his arrival in Japan, he had accompanied the Swedish embassy under Louis Fabricius to Persia., then engaging as surgeon with the Dutch fleet, visited India and Batavia, and at length reached Japan, where he stayed three years collecting material for his work. Here he secured the good will of the authorities so completely that he was allowed to travel where and as he pleased. He returned to Europe in 1693 and published an account of his travels under the title of Amoenitates Exoticae. His History of Japan has long been recognized as the most authoritative account of that country published at the time" (Cox). Of particular importance in this book are the maps: "Although maps of all kinds topped the list of prohibitions [of things not permitted to leave Japan], Kaempfer managed to smuggle out ten: four of Japan; one each of the cities of Osaka, Kyoto and Nagasaki; two very rare maps of Edo; and a pictorial map covering the land and sea routes from Edo to Nagasaki. In the History, he stressed the difficulties involved in obtaining any plans, particularly of Edo. Yet his description of the intricate layout of Edo castle was to horrify one interpreter who remarked how 'terrible' it was that a European had acquired so much precise information about the seat of the shogunate. Kaempfer's maps of Japan (based on Shinsen dai Nihon zukan, one of the earliest maps to have shown Hokkaido), though considerably modified by Scheuchzer, were to have an enormous influence on generations of European cartographers' (Fathom).

First edition of this encyclopaedic description of Japan's flora and fauna, religion and customs, and government and industries. Kaempfer's account framed European understanding of Japan for over a century, and it was considered so definitive that later experts such as Isaac Titsingh saw no need to compose their own. Born in Westphalia, Kaempfer (1651-1716) graduated in 1676 with a doctorate in languages, history, and medicine from Cracow. In 1681 he moved to Upsala and two years later was chosen to accompany Ludwig Fabritius's embassy from Charles XII to Russia and Persia. At Esfahan, he decided not to return with the rest of the party, but instead obtained employment with the Dutch East India Company and headed south for Bandar Abbas, where for two years he was the surgeon at the Dutch factory. In 1688 he set sail for the east and, on 24 September 1690, "he arrived at the Dutch factory of Deshima in Nagasaki, Japan, the only Japanese port at that time open to foreign trade" (Howgego). In 1691 Kaempfer embarked with the head of the factory on his first journey to the imperial court at Edo, receiving an audience with Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. He made a second similar trip in 1692 before leaving Japan and returning to Batavia, eventually sailing for Europe some time in 1693. Kaempfer composed his account in manuscript form during his travels, yet it was only published after his death. The manuscript was acquired by Sir Hans Sloane in the 1720s as part of the purchase of Kaempfer's scholarly and literary remains, before being "presented to the public in 1727 in a fairly free translation by the young Swiss naturalist Johann Caspar Scheuchzer. The French translation of Scheuchzer's English text appeared two years later and was more widely read on the continent, including in Germany, where French was more readily understood than English at the time. Those who only read German had to make do with the back translation from the French (1749), until in 1777-79 Kaempfer's Westphalian compatriot Christian Wilhelm Dohm. finally published the original in two volumes" (Osterhammel, p. 19). "The eighteenth century's famous and influential travelers and travel writers, from Engelbert Kaempfer and John Chardin to Carsten Niebuhr, Constantin de Volney, and Alexander von Humboldt, were no victims of 'Orientalist' delusion and peddlars of fantasies and lies about the Other. From Western European humanism, they inherited a role model of the 'philosophical traveler' - an ambulatory scholar who, not yet bound by the constraints of strictly defined academic disciplines such as geography or ethnology, contributed to universal knowledge in accordance with the most advanced methodological standards of the day" (Osterhammel, p. 212).
