Ottoman Empire and Edo-era Japan. You probably never thought about them together before, right? Turns out the Ottomans knew about Japan since at least the late 1600s, because the Ottoman scholar Katip Çelebi included Japan in his atlas “Displaying the World.”
He didn’t quite get the shape of the islands, or their number, or their names…but hey, he tried!
