NAGAKUBO, Sekisui (1717-1801). Kaisei chikyu bankoku zenzu . Edited by Yamasaki Kinbe and Asana Yahei. Edo, 1785. The rare and beautiful map of the world by the father of Japanese cartography. This work is modeled after the Jesuit Matteo Ricci’s Chinese world map, Kunyu Wanguo Quantu , which was printed in 1602 for the Wanli Emperor. Nagakubo was a prolific and innovative cartographer—and the first in Japan to use lines of longitude and latitude in his maps. The present map updates Ricci’s monumental work with new information, some gleaned from Dutch sources; one of the cartouches contains text by Katsuragawa Hoshu, the physician and Dutch translator who had studied anatomy under Carl Peter Thunberg. Only two other copies of this edition have sold at auction according to ABPC and RBH. JCB Maps 31171. 935 x 1650 mm. Hand-colored woodblock map (a few repaired wormholes, repairs to tears at creases). Folded within stiff paper board covers (wear to boards).
