Engelbert Kaempfer
![Kaempfer depicted in the cartouche of a map of Japan by [[Matthäus Seutter]] based on his observations, {{c.|1730}}](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/Engelbert_Kaempfer_cartouche.jpg)
He wrote two books about his travels. ''Amoenitatum exoticarum'', published in 1712, is important for its medical observations and the first extensive description of Japanese plants (''Flora Japonica''). His ''History of Japan'', published posthumously in 1727, was the chief source of Western knowledge about the country throughout the 18th and mid-19th centuries, when it was closed to foreigners.
