One of the most decorative maps of Asia, with nine vignette 'map-views' of cities across the top of the map and ten costumes down the sides. The seas are filled with decoration, including galleons, a twin-spouted sea-monster and a merman blowing a shell trumpet. Korea is shown as an island Australia has yet to appear.
