Additional Details

Janssonius first issued a map of Japan in 1636 based on the Dudley/Teixeira model. The present map published in 1658 represents a fairly extreme departure from the earlier map of 1636. The Dutch presence in the area constantly increased Europe's knowledge of Japan and its configuration and in this Dudley/Janssonius model the new information is incorporated. Walter 57; Campbell 22; Cortazzi, pl. 70.
