Japanese Antique World Map 1853 – Geographicus Chikyu Bankoku Hozu (Nakajima) 70×100 cm / 28×40″

Product Description

Discover one of the most fascinating Japanese world maps of the 19th century. The Geographicus Chikyu Bankoku Hozu (1853), created by Suido Nakajima during the Kaei 6 period, represents a remarkable milestone in Japanese cartography. Published at a pivotal moment in Japan’s history, this map reflects the country’s transition from centuries of isolation toward a broader understanding of the world.

Unlike earlier Japanese maps based on outdated European sources, this edition incorporates significantly improved geographical knowledge. The Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia are depicted with far greater accuracy, while decorative hand-colored details and traditional Japanese woodblock printing create a stunning work of art that blends scientific discovery with artistic craftsmanship.

A distinctive feature of the map is the set of four hemispherical insets in the lower section, providing alternative views of the globe. Rich colors, intricate Japanese typography, and elegant cartographic styling make this reproduction an exceptional decorative piece for homes, offices, libraries, and collectors of antique maps.

Whether you’re passionate about Japanese history, historical geography, or unique wall décor, this map offers both educational value and timeless aesthetic appeal.
