Description

The oldest of these so-called Nagasaki pictures (Nagasaki-zu) were two panoramic prints by the artist Chikujuken that served as guides to the city of Nagasaki for visitors, who took them home as stylish souvenirs.
They were such a useful guide for finding foreign trading stations and the anchorages of Dutch and Chinese vessels that they continued for many years.

The influence of this type of panorama print can be seen in the Yokohama pictures of the mid-nineteenth century and in the bird's-eye perspectives of such pictures as A Comprehensive View of Yokosuka that were still being published after the Meiji Restoration of 1868. A bird's-eye view of Nagasaki harbor.
The Dutch V.O.C. trading post on Dejima clearly marked with the Dutch flag.

Nagasaki was the port city of the Hizen Province (now Nagasaki Prefecture), and after 1570 began to prosper from the trade with Portugal. The government imposed a policy of seclusion on Japan in the early 17th century and since Nagasaki became the only port open to foreign trade. All the Dutch traders moved their commercial houses there in 1641.

The piece of fan-shaped land that juts out into Nagasaki Bay, attached to the shore by a bridge, is the island of Dejima. It was constructed in 1634 and first home of the Portuguese, later the Dutch traders. In the left below Dejima, in the rectangular artificial islands, were the warehouses of the Chinese merchants.

The map shows much activity of the foreign ships. In the bay are anchored Dutch ships and Chinese Junks. One Dutch ship, undertowed by lines of tugboats, is firing its cannons in greeting.

Throughout the Edo period, Nagasaki, along with Kyoto, Osaka and Edo was the scene of a flourishing publishing business in woodblock prints. Maps of Nagasaki were first published in the 1670s and from the 1770s on, they came out in a constant stream.

Due to the Dutch presence in Nagasaki, Japan learned many aspects of the scientific and technological revolution occurring in Europe at that time, helping the country build up the beginnings of a theoretical and technical scientific base, which helps to explain Japan's success in its radical and speedy modernization following the opening of the country to foreign trade in 1854.

Rangaku, literally "Dutch Learning", and by extension, "Western learning") is a body of knowledge developed by Japan through its contacts with the Dutch enclave of Dejima.

The value of any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, an expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling. We provide auction estimates based on photographs sent via the Internet. These estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision upon inspection of the object. It is impossible to provide verbal estimates by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.

There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value over the years.
Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction.
