This is a Dutch edition of Tirion's map of China, Korea, and Japan. The Great Wall is shown as well as the Gobi Desert. Kamchatka, the Korean peninsula, and Japan are oddly shaped. The Sea of Japan is labeled Zee van Corea. There are two unnamed islands at top right, with one noted as "paying tribute to the Russians" and the other not paying tribute.
