- "Influenced by Buddhist maps as known by the Japanese in the Edo period. Some areas more accurate than others (see Australia and the location of Italy, for example). North America is mis-shapen and relatively small, Australia is similarly depicted as small and in a shape which bears no resemblance to that of modern maps and the continent of Africa also appears in a very unfamiliar form" -- acquisition notes.
