Robe (Kosode)
Early 17th Century
This sumptuous robe is among the earliest extant kosode (garment with small sleeve openings). The natural scenery of Japan’s coast, with its beaches strewn with shells and sea grass, inspired the delicate embroidered design. The foundation fabric, woven in an intricate key-fret pattern with floral motifs, was likely imported from China in its white, undecorated state. It was then resist dyed to achieve the effect of irregular sandbanks, and the marine motifs were embroidered on top. The alternating bands of light blue were further embellished with gold-leaf accents.

Pocket globe made by printer and lexicographer Joseph Moxon in 1679. Only three inches in diameter, the globe, in addition to portraying the known world at the time, charts the routes of explorers Francis Drake and Thomas Cavendish. Some notable deviations from today's maps include portraying California as an island, and simply leaving half of Australia blank.
The British Library's webpage on the globe features a fully rotatable 3D model!

if anyone wants to write Usagi fics but has no idea about Japanese food pre modern times, I’m doing some research and found several sites worth mentioning.
#fern.uy#usagi yojimbo#I’m gonna look further into this but since the comics take place in early 17th century Japan it’s safe to say many of the foods we are#at least familiar with nowadays came from that time period or at the very least their modern cousins developed from there#I find this topic relevant to my interests as a foodie traveller

Watching a documentary on the Imjin War, where a historian claimed that the Japanese possessed, at the time, the strongest military in the world. I mentally shouted “Weeb!” at my screen and made a mental list of “countries” that would have given the Japanese a run for their money… in no certain order:
Hapsburg Spain
Hapsburg Austria
Bourbon France
The Dutch
The Ottomans
The Safavids
The Mughals
And to be completely honest the Japanese never conquered Korea, and while the Ming were in decline, the Manchus that followed them were the dominant military power in China till the 19th Century… feel free to add to this list.

Nonomura Ninsei (about 1574–1660/66), Tea storage jar, Edo period (17th century). Japan.
"While most ceramic wares were produced by unknown craftsman, this storage jar is identified as the work of Nonomura Ninsei, who specialized in making enameled ceramic wares during the 17th century. This piece has been sumptuously decorated with a design of the moon and plum tree in richly colored glassy enamels and gold-leaf."
From “The Art of East Asia” by Gabriele Fahr-Becker, published in 2006.
