Description
Nederlands: Kaart van Japan uit de Atlas van der Hagen, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag Deel 4. Deze kaart van Japan en Korea werd in 1655 gepubliceerd in de Atlas Sinensis van Joan Blaeu (1598-1673). Het bijzondere aan deze kaart, samengesteld door de Italiaanse missionaris Martino Martini (1614-1661), is dat de omtrekken van Japan betrouwbaar zijn weergegeven, terwijl ook Korea voor het eerst correct als een schiereiland is getekend. Deze kaart was het prototype voor al de kaarten die in de 17de eeuw van dit gebied werden samengesteld.
English: Map of Japan taken from the Atlas van der Hagen, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague, Part 4. This map of Japan and Korea was published in 1655 by Joan Blaeu (1598-1673) in the Atlas Sinensis. The striking thing about this map, rendered by the Italian missionary Martino Martini (1614-1661), is that the contours of Japan have been accurately represented while Korea is also shown correcty for the first time as a peninsula. This map constituted the prototype for all the charts of this region compiled in the 17th century.
