Painting Description
"Regni Japoniae Nova Mappa Geographica, Ex Indigenarum Observationibus Delineata Ab Engelberto Kaempfero, Recusa Et Emendata" is a historically significant map of Japan, created by the German cartographer Georg Matthäus Seutter in the early 18th century. This map is based on the observations and detailed studies conducted by Engelbert Kaempfer, a German naturalist and physician who traveled extensively in Japan during the late 17th century. Kaempfer's work provided one of the most comprehensive and accurate depictions of Japan available to Europeans at the time.
Seutter, who was an esteemed cartographer and engraver, took Kaempfer's original observations and refined them, producing a map that was not only a valuable geographical resource but also a work of art. The map is notable for its detailed representation of the Japanese archipelago, including the main islands of Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido, as well as numerous smaller islands. It also includes intricate illustrations and embellishments, which were characteristic of Seutter's style and added an aesthetic dimension to the map's practical utility.
The title of the map, translated as "New Geographical Map of the Kingdom of Japan, Delineated from Indigenous Observations by Engelbert Kaempfer, Revised and Corrected," highlights the collaborative nature of the work, combining Kaempfer's firsthand knowledge with Seutter's cartographic expertise. This map was part of a broader trend in the 18th century where European scholars and explorers sought to document and understand distant lands, contributing to the growing body of geographical knowledge.
Seutter's map of Japan was widely circulated and became an important reference for scholars, traders, and navigators interested in East Asia. It reflects the period's burgeoning interest in Japan and the broader context of European exploration and colonial ambitions. Today, "Regni Japoniae Nova Mappa Geographica" is considered a valuable historical document, offering insights into the early modern understanding of Japanese geography and the cross-cultural exchanges that shaped it.
