Hakuran Kyo Shi [Comprehensive View of the Border Areas]. N.p., Tempo 9, [1839].
7 volumes, 185 x 130 mm. Manuscript of paper. With world map and a map of the Western hemisphere. (Worming, professionally restored.) Original paper wrappers.
This extensive account of foreign countries and seas around the world is probably based on a Chinese work, Po Lan Chiang Chih, and translated into Japanese by Nobu Hiromichi. It contains a map of the world with Japan at the lower right, and a map of the Western hemisphere. The work is an example of a genre of Chinese literature stretching back 20 centuries, but particularly popular and important during the Ming Dynasty, which ended in the mid-17th century. A fine example of the awakening of interest in the West in nineteenth century Japan.
