This map describes the first part of the route from the Dejima trading post at Nagasaki to the shogun in Edo. It covers the route from Nagasaki to Kokura, and shows a track both through the Ariake Sea and around it. This journey was embarked upon once a year by the ambassadors of the Dutch East India Company, and was the only opportunity for foreigners to travel in Japan during this period. North is oriented to the left and the title appears in both French and Dutch on this map.
