From Tea to Ginkgo: Pre-Linnaean Studies and Illustrations of Japanese Flora in European Publications ; Del té al ginkgo: estudios e ilustraciones prelinneanas de la flora japonesa en las publicaciones europeas
After a period of cultural exchanges developed during the Namban period (1543-1639), the Japanese government decided to close borders to Westerners, making an exception for the Dutch East India Company. This isolationism occurred at a time when illustrated publications of botanical studies on non-European regions were widely received by Western readers and physicians.

After a period of cultural exchanges developed during the Namban period (1543-1639), the Japanese government decided to close borders to Westerners, making an exception for the Dutch East India Company. This isolationism occurred at a time when illustrated publications of botanical studies on non-European regions were widely received by Western readers and physicians. In the following work we will study the books and prints on Japanese flora published in Europe due to the researches of several workers of the Dutch company, who were allowed to visit the archipelago at the end of the Seventeenth century. Thanks to these botanists, several descriptions of Japanese plants could be edited in the West for the first time, before the publication of Carlos Linnaeus’s Systema naturæ (Leiden, 1735) and Species Pantarum (Stockholm, 1753). ; ras un periodo de ricos intercambios culturales desarrollado durante el periodo Namban (1543-1639), las autoridades japonesas decidieron cerrar las fronteras del archipiélago a los occidentales, haciendo una excepción con los comerciantes de la Compañía Neerlandesa de Indias Orientales. Este aislacionismo se produjo en un momento en el cual los libros ilustrados de estudios botánicos sobre regiones de fuera de Europa tenían una gran recepción entre los lectores y médicos occidentales. En el siguiente trabajo estudiaremos las publicaciones y las estampas sobre flora nipona publicados en el Viejo Continente gracias a las investigaciones de una serie de trabajadores ligados a la compañía neerlandesa, quienes pudieron visitar el archipiélago a finales del siglo xvii. Gracias a estos botánicos, se pudieron editar en Occidente por primera vez una serie de descripciones sobre las plantas de Japón, antes de la publicación de los trabajos de Carlos Linneo, Systema naturæ (Leiden, 1735) y Species Pantarum (Estocolmo, 1753).
