This detailed map of Japan is divided into seven principal provinces and depicts numerous towns, mountains, and rivers. The map represents typical European cartography of the late 18th century, with a misshapen Honshu and an elongated Lago d'Otis (Lake Biwa). The map is adorned with a decorative title cartouche with potted plants and a parasol. Engraved by G. Pitteri.
