Schätzwert
$ 1 000 – 2 000
Saimei Tenno Roku-nen To [Korea and Japan at the Time of Empress Saimei’s Reign (660 AD)]. Japan, [Edo period, c. 1825].

Historical map of Korea and Japan. This is a striking color fold out woodblock map from an early 19th century Japanese historical atlas showing the Korean peninsula and Japan at the time of the 6th year of Empress Saimei’s reign (AD 660). The considerable amount of Japanese text on the map describes the conflict on the Korean Peninsla among Kogryo, Silla, Paekche (Japan’s ally), Tang China, Japan, and the fall of Paekche that year. In that year, the kingdom was conquered by Silla in alliance with the Tang emperor, though until then it had been Japan’s most faithful ally on the peninsula. The map is from Honcho Kokugun Kenchi Enkaku Zusetsu (Illustrated Establishment and Development of Provinces and Countries in Japan), pulished by Hiyama Tansai in 1823.

Woodblock map of East Asia, ink and color on native paper, texts in Chinese and Japanese, four sheets joint together, including a small sheet attached to the upper left corner and the upper part of the right margin respectively, approx. 565 x 635 mm overall. Title on the upper right corner, long inscription above the map of Japan. Japan colored in yellow and greyish blue, Korea in pink and blue, and China in pink. (Browning along folds, some fold separation, wormholes repaired.)
