The panoramic view on the top shows Kyoto with its many temples, and farms and a carriage in the foreground. The panel in the upper left describes the torture and killing of Christians in Japan in a rather graphic fashion. The panel of the opposite side shows a marriage ceremony. The two bottom views are of Saccai (Sakai) located in Osaka Bay and a temple in the city. In between the bottom views is the plan of the Deshima (Dejima), an artificial island in the bay of Nagasaki where the VOC (Dutch East India Company) was allowed to trade with the representatives of the Shogun. The central panel text describes Meaco or Kyoto (the home of the Dairi or Spiritual Emperor) and Jedo or Tokyo (the home of the Koubo or Secular Emperor).
