To make this map fit a normal map size, the cartographer squeezed Japan together a bit. The map reaches about to Sapporo on Hokaido in the north . In the upper left corner is an attractive Roccoco cartouche with a Japanese pair in the garland and a head above the map sending beams over the cartouche. Map has overall light toning and zwei vertical folds to fit book size. On the lower margin is a crease and on the left margin edge is some fraying.
General condition is Almost Very Good.
