An improved outline of Asia appeared in this map. Jodocus Hondius' new map of Asia was designed to update the original Mercator map for the expanded editions of the Mercator-Hondius "Atlas". The cartography was improved by the adoption of the outline from the Ortelius-Teixeira map of Japan (1595), which identified Korea as an elongated island and showed the three principal islands of Japan.
