Cartobibliographic notes:
|
Reduced copy of map based on Matteo Ricci's (1550-1610) world map of 1602. "The Ricci-style map was already out of date by this time, but Nagakubo's version commonly called the 'Seksui map,' was used extensively and his authority as a cartographer remained strong until the mid-nineteenth century."
