Overall a very good copy of this important work. "Kaempfer was a well known German physician and naturalist with a passion for travelling. Before his arrival in Japan, he had accompanied the Swedish embassy under Louis Fabricius to Persia., then engaging as surgeon with the Dutch fleet, visited India and Batavia, and at length reached Japan, where he stayed three years collecting material for his work. Here he secured the good will of the authorities so completely that he was allowed to travel where and as he pleased. He returned to Europe in 1693 and published an account of his travels under the title of Amoenitates Exoticae. His History of Japan has long been recognized as the most authoritative account of that country published at the time" (Cox). Of particular importance in this book are the maps: "Although maps of all kinds topped the list of prohibitions [of things not permitted to leave Japan], Kaempfer managed to smuggle out ten: four of Japan; one each of the cities of Osaka, Kyoto and Nagasaki; two very rare maps of Edo; and a pictorial map covering the land and sea routes from Edo to Nagasaki. In the History, he stressed the difficulties involved in obtaining any plans, particularly of Edo. Yet his description of the intricate layout of Edo castle was to horrify one interpreter who remarked how 'terrible' it was that a European had acquired so much precise information about the seat of the shogunate. Kaempfer's maps of Japan (based on Shinsen dai Nihon zukan, one of the earliest maps to have shown Hokkaido), though considerably modified by Scheuchzer, were to have an enormous influence on generations of European cartographers' (Fathom). Cox I, p. 322. Wellcome III, p. 376. HBS 69535. $8,500. SCHEUCHZER, J.G. (illustrateur).

The text and plates remarkably clean. A fresh, Near Fine copy of this important work. "Kaempfer (1651 - 1716) was a well known German physician and naturalist with a passion for travelling. Before his arrival in Japan, he had accompanied the Swedish embassy under Louis Fabricius to Persia.then engaging as surgeon with the Dutch fleet, visited India and Batavia, and at length reached Japan, where he stayed three years collecting material for his work. Here he secured the good will of the authorities so completely that he was allowed to travel where and as he pleased. He returned to Europe in 1693 and published an account of his travels under the title of Amoenitates Exoticae. His History of Japan has long been recognized as the most authoritative account of that country published at the time" (Cox). "Some knowledge of Japan had been disseminated to Europe in the sixteenth century through the accounts of Roman Catholic missionaries such as Francis Xavier. However, following the restriction of trade from the 1620s, first-hand information about the country was largely available to Europeans only via VOC (Dutch East India Company) merchants stationed at the 'Japan factory' at Deshima. Dutch accounts at this time evoked romantic images of an isolated country with mysterious customs, views that coloured western notions of Japan during the 'closed country' (sakoku) period. The term sakoku in fact owes its existence to Engelbert Kaempfer's History of Japan. It was coined by the Nagasaki translator Shizuki Tadao in his 1801 Japanese-language edition of the work. Before this time, the policy was known as kaikin or 'maritime restrictions'. Kaempfer served as surgeon at Deshima in 1690 - 92 and was able to gather extensive notes on the history, culture and natural history of the country, primarily during his two excursions accompanying the annual Dutch procession to the capital, Edo. Returning to Europe in 1695, Kaempfer began to make arrangements to publish his findings. He produced a survey of Japanese botany, Amoenitatum exoticarum, in 1712, but died before he was able to publish his history of the country itself. Fortunately, his manuscript notes survived and were purchased by the botanist and collector Sir Hans Sloane (1660 -1753) who passed them to his librarian, Gaspar Scheuchzer (1702- 29), to translate into English. The resulting two-volume publication, of which this is a copy, was dedicated to George II. It was the most comprehensive European account of Japan for over a century and the first such work in English. Kaempfer's History also contained plates taken from authentic Japanese woodblock prints, including.the first contemporary depiction of Edo to appear in European literature. The book's influence was wide-ranging and it remained an important account of Japan and Japanese life until well into the nineteenth century" (Royal Collection Trust). Cordier, Japonica, pp. 414-415; Cox I, p. 332; Garrison-Morton 6374; Wellcome III, p. 376. Near Fi.
