How we know

compilation Assembled from earlier sources. The author did not observe it directly.

official compilation by the shogunal astronomy office from Arrowsmith and other European maps plus Japanese surveys

Research notes
  • WDL description via NDL; multiple states exist (1810 manuscript, 1816 print).

Why it matters

The most accurate Japanese world map before Perry; its northern Asia follows Arrowsmith and Krusenstern, so it records how Japanese officialdom in 1816 named the regions Europeans called Tartary.

Places named

World; northern Asia with Siberia, Tartary, Manchuria, Sakhalin, Ezo
