About this Item

This is an early pull of the plate based on the intensity of the engraving. There are 5 prints below the two page spread of the governments of the time. One is the secular entity. The other is the deity. The Grand Temple of Osaka is on small view in the lower right. It is complemented by the city view in the lower left. There is a view of the torture of the Christians in mid left. The Japanese marriage ceremony is in the lower right. This is a finely composed insight into the culture and religion of Japan at the end of the seventeenth century and beginning of the eighteenth century. This present map is intense in its printing results and would make a very nice addition of any collection. It would also make a very nice gift for any recipient in Japan. Seller Inventory # 694
