John Saris was a Captain who commanded the first English voyage to Japan in 1613 in an effort to establish trade relations. This map depicts the route of Saris' voyage, extending from India in the west to Indonesia in the east. India appears in an almost trapezoidal shape, and the mythical Chiamai L. is depicted in China with four southerly flowing rivers. New Guinea is given a thin, elongated shape, and the northern tip of Nova Hollandia (Australia) is shown. This map was published in van der Aa's compilation of early voyages of exploration.
