◆ An inscription on this hand-painted map dates the work to the eighth year of the Tenpō, which was the second of three eras in the reign of Japan’s Nikō emperor (1800-1846, reigned 1817-1837). However the political geography that it renders is that of China’s Ming dynasty (1368-1644), which fell to Manchu invaders in 1644. In addiction to depicting the thirteen province of the Ming, the map draws attention to areas that played a role in the Ming’s relations with non-Han peoples. (All Under Heaven).

◆ 根據這幅手繪地圖上的文字標識,地圖製作時間為天保八年,即仁孝天皇(1800-1846)在位三期(1817-1846)中的第二期。但地圖所展示的卻是中國明代的政治版圖(1368-1644,於1644年被滿族人侵入并推翻統治),除了明代的十三個省,圖中還特別標識出和明王朝有關係的非漢族地區(蒼穹之下)。
