In 1543, the Portuguese were the first Europeans to land in Japan. This book gathers historical accounts from navigators, adventurers, and Jesuits between 1543 and 1552, witnessing the fascination and misunderstanding in front of this new civilization. It includes a rich cartographic section tracing the representation of the archipelago from the mythical Cipango to its almost definitive form in the 17th century, as well as a Japanese text describing the arrival of the 'Southern Barbarians'.
