Note:

This map depicts Japan, the Strait of Korea and part of the east coast of Korea. Honshu, outlined in yellow, takes the center of the map, Kyushu and Shikoku are colored blue and magenta respectively. Yezo, present day Hokkaido, is also colored magenta and the northeastern part of the island is out of the map and so was integrated on inset 2. There is also an inset of the harbor of Nagasaki with a legend on the number of inhabitants and the location of the Dutch Factory on the island of Dejima (Desima). Underneath the title of the main map there is a legend on the cities and number of inhabitants of the two capitals of Japan, Kyoto (Meaco) and Tokyo (Yedo).
