OTSUKI, Bankei
Shinsei Yochi Zenzu [New Map of the World].
Edo [Tokyo], 1845. Double-hemisphere map, woodblock print on paper with outline colouring mounted on linen scroll, 304 x 1220 mm.; a fine copy in excellent original condition with original paper title label and silk tie. This very attractive double-hemisphere scroll map, surrounded with extensive calligraphic text, was prepared by Otsuki Bankei (1801-1878), a neo-Confucian scholar, and an artist as well as a map-maker. It is based on a French map of 1835; the two hemispheres are about 300 mm. in diameter; the maps are annotated with country and city names, latitude and longitude, and are coloured in outline.
This rare map was originally with several other Japanese maps of the period in the collection of Carl Irving Wheat (1892-1966), collector and bibliographer of Americana, author of Mapping the Transmississippi West and other bibliographies.
