Additional Details

Interesting depiction with East and West reversed. Though the Jesuit Scherer produced only a few maps, many of them include Japan, as his main concern was with the spread of Christianity. A commonality amongst his depictions of Japan is that Honshû and Hokkaidô (Ezo) are always connected. California is presented as an island. McLaughlin 159.
