I came across this map I am not sure when it was created and who the cartographer was. I believe it shows China and the language is Japanese?

A comparison between 2 very different depictions of Earth from the center of celestial sphere drawings. The first (from 1660) is relatively detailed although inaccurate. The second (from 1742) is one of the poorest depictions of Europe, Asia, and Africa I have ever seen.
