This is world map, represented in two hemispheres. The map itself is not detailed. There are extensive captions, however, which surround the maps and which comment on the various continents and countries. The commentary was taken from "Zue kaban tsūshi".

Not listed in Kokusho sōmokuroku.

Verso: Oranda shinyaku chikyū zenzu.

The commentary explains the Western view of heaven and earth, i.e. that it is round, that it rotates on it axis, etc. It also explains the concepts of latitude and longitude. There are symbols which represent the ocean, the seas, the boundaries, and the capitals.

Commentary outside of the border line mentions about "Megellanica"(=imaginary continent around Antarctica) as a possible sixth continent.
