I must confess that the moment I laid eyes on this sumptuous volume, I knew that I had to have my own copy [...] the beautiful reproductions are a feast for the eyes [...] taken as a whole, the cartobibliography is simply overwhelming. Bruce L. Batten, J.F. Oberlin University, Tokyo. In: Monumenta Nipponica, Vol. 68, No. 2 (2013), pp. 289-292.
