Blue decorated printed covers on yellow paper 2 red Hanko seals sheet size: 68.9 x 47 cm. map size: 64.3 x 45.9 cm. very clean solid and crisp copy color woodblock printed an excellent example. R A R E . . . . AN EARLY WOODBLOCK COLOR MAP OF NAGASAKI . . . A "NEWLY CARVED" MAP OF NAGASAKI BAY & DESHIMA . . . DUTCH & CHINESE SHIPPING . THE MAP: This map shows "SHIN SEN" "NEWLY CARVED WOODBLOCK" of Nagasaki Bay and environs with special attention to Deshima & Chinese Islands where the Dutch and Chinese lived isolated and restricted from the mainland. It also shows the details of Nagasaki city a lively foreign trading port. . The map clearly illustrates the two most important islands of Deshima and the Chinese. Each island had a bridge connecting it to the mainland which was guarded by Tokugawa Samurai. Foreigners were forbidden by Japanese law from entering the mainland. . Products such as water & food were brought to the islands as well as a good number of Japanese prostitutes all sanctioned by the Shogun. . The Dutch Factory manager was granted audience with the Shogun in Edo once a year. This annual event was to pay homage to the Shogun. . The procession was conducted by the Samurai as the group walked a very long distance to Edo. In Edo the Dutch representative paid his respects to the Shogun who sat behind a screen. The Dutchman was instructed to speak dance walk and perform. . There is a stunning and famous primary account of this by Dr. Engelbert Kaempfer published in 1827 please inquire with us as we have a copy in stock. . The harbor shows two large Dutch sailing vessel under full sail with the Dutch and several other flags flying in the breeze. A large sea-going Chinese junk in full sail most likely preparing to get under way. There are also two large Japanese junks moored at the shore line. There are numerous other smaller Japanese junk type vessels in the harbor. . At the corners are four Kanji Chinese characters used by Japanese noting North South East and West. With two cartouches inset at the lower left. The first showing a distant chart from Nagasaki to foreign countries. The second gives the distance from Nagasaki to other port cities in Japan. All distances are cited in Japanese Rim miles. At the extreme left of the cartouche is the Japanese colophon. . The map meticulously shows villages various sights shrine & temples the quay streets harbors beaches rivers important Japanese trading houses located on the mainland across from near the Dutch & Chinese residences. Other large Japanese trading company are shown each street and block is named are labeled. . An historically important a very decorative map. Earlier maps of Nagasaki are always difficult to find. All in all a very nice clean example of an early 19th century map of the whole area. . In the colophon it states we translate: "Nagasaki is beautiful flourishing city in a 4 km. square with mountains in the East South North with a good and large port in the West. There are many Dutch & Chinese merchants." . WOODBLOCK PRINTING: This work was printed on two large Deluxe size sheets of Washi hand-made paper joined at the center. This map was printed on extraordinary large size cherry wood blocks all of which was an expensive and extravagant production. The average woodblock print of the time was printed on a standard sheet ca. 23 x 36 cm. . The map was printed in polychrome: pastel shades of blue yellow green with black 'key' block outline. . DATING: The map as usual is undated printed in Nagasaki. . It is certain the First Edition of this map was printed in Kyowa 2nd year 1801 illustrated in Nagayama see below as Nagasaki map no. 147. Our map herein offered is identical to Nagayama's with one exception. In the colophon at the lower left corner the last box at the left shows a different publisher and their details. . SECOND EDITION: Our map is clearly the exact map as illustrated in Nagayama and is therefore a contemporary reprint of the First 1802 edition. Our example was more than likely printed from the same blocks with a subtle modification to the last four lines showing the publisher's name. . By virtue of the Japanese penchant when reprinting the First Editions of books & maps traditionally the first reprint has the Kanji: "Shin" "New" ahead of the title. As in our example the title also uses "Shin Sen Hizen" "New Printed Treasure" meaning the first reprint of this title. It is true in later years the abuse of "Shin" became a standard for any reprint it was not the case in 1802 when "Shin" meant the first reprint. . After this edition several other undated reprints followed none identical with subtle differences variants and with different colophons. Nagasaki was the first published place other editions do not always state publisher's location. . KYOWA 2ND YEAR 1802: According to three references below this map or ones similar are cited in Kurita Beans & Kohan. They all state "undated" but attribute the date to Kyowa 2nd year 1802. of this map were printed in Nagasaki by various publishers. . Our research also found this map listed in a 1977 Japanese book dealer's catalog he speculates the dates at circa: Ansei 1854-1860 to Bunkyu 1861-1863. This may be true for an even later reprint but did not match exactly our example. . THE FRONT COVER: On the left side of the front cover are five Kanji reading: "KO JU DOH HATSU DA" "PUBLISHED BY KO JU DO" with their red Hanko seal or chop. . RARITY: An historically important and decorative map. Early maps of Nagasaki and the Dutch Factory on Deshima Island are always fascinating and RARE. . Color photos are posted to our website. . CONDITION: The map is in its original blue-printed yellow paper covers. The back cover is blank. The front cover is very clean there is a tiny bit of the usual minimal scuffing to the extremities with a bit more at the top margin. The back cover is clean with a minor bit of typical "toning." . The map is fresh and crisp. The has seven folds in all they are very strong without issues. It folds to be 9 x 15 cm. The registry is excellent the colors strong and vivid there is no fading. . There are four tiny mended pin holes at each corner. These appear to have been professionally restored in the distant past. The map is clean and solid. By and large this is an excellent example more than 217 years old ! . REFERENCES: . NAGAYAMA Tokihide.: AN ALBUM OF HISTORICAL MATERIALS CONNECTED WITH FOREIGN INTERCOURSE.
