Neat repairs along some folds on reverse, a little toning on map but still a good attractive copy. This large map of the world was issued as the new year supplem…ent for a boys' magazine, Shonen Kurabu ????? in January 1931. Japan and its territories in red are positioned in the centre of the map. The vastness of Russia and the British Empire stand out and the Irish Free State is still indicated as being part of the UK. Interestingly, Russia is still shown in its customary Imperial green, rather than the more common red that was typically adopted for the Soviet Union.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Average. Wear and loss along fold lines. Wormholes at bottom-left. Periodic foxing. Size 31 x 21.5 Inches. This is a 1937 Fuchida Tadayoshi map of China published in King (???) magazine during the opening phase of the Second Sino-Japanese War (World War II). A Closer Look Between the front (recto) and back (verso), t…he map shows the entire front of the early phase of the conflict, from Japanese puppet states in Manchuria and northern China to China's southern coastal provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. At front is the coastal regions of northern China, roughly as far as Shanghai, where Japanese influence was already strong after years of expanding its military and economic presence. The level of detail is extraordinary, particularly for a popular publication, but also highlights the immensity of the task facing Japan if it intended to occupy all of China. It is worth noting that, at the time of publication, it was not clear that the hostilities in China would evolve into a full-scale, protracted war. Japan initially hoped for more Chinese concessions and piecemeal territorial gains, and later aimed to deliver a severe enough blow to force Chiang to surrender. Full mobilization on a total war basis only commenced the following year, when it became clear that Chiang and his troops had no intention of surrendering despite losing Shanghai, Nanjing, and much else. Verso Content The back (verso) includes two larger maps, a wider perspective of eastern China and a map of central China from Shanghai southwards, respectively. The inset maps are, starting at top-right and moving clockwise, Beiping (Beijing), Tianjin, Qingdao, Guangdong (Guangzhou), Hong Kong, Wuhan (Hankou, Wuchang, and Hanyang), Jinan, Shanghai, and Nanjing. The Battle for Shanghai and Its Aftermath Starting with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria (the 'Mukden Incident') in September 1931, Chinese and Japanese troops fought on-again, off-again battles in northern China for several years. One of these many skirmishes took place on July 7, 1937, at the 'Marco Polo Bridge' (Lugouwiao ???), just to the southwest of Beijing. Chiang Kai-Shek was reluctant to throw his armies into a full-scale war against the better trained and equipped Japanese forces, but was compelled to bow to public pressure and launch the long-expected war. Chiang decided to dedicate the bulk of his best trained and equipped forces to a battle for Shanghai, allowing Beijing (at this time Beiping) to fall along with the rest of coastal north China, which was already within Japan's sphere of influence and virtually impossible to defend. Chiang also decided to focus on Shanghai because of the city's international profile and the large numbers of foreigners there; his strategy for winning the war relied in part on gaining foreign support, which ultimately succeeded. Due to the speed and surprise of their attack, Chinese troops at first succeeded in seizing territory defended by Japanese garrison forces in Shanghai, but lost momentum as Japanese reinforcements and heavy weapons came into play. Chinese-administered parts of the city, particularly Zhabei and Wusong to the north and east of the International Settlement, along with the Japanese neighborhood of Hongkou in the International Settlement, saw extensive bombardment and house-to-house fighting. Despite the valiant efforts of Chinese troops, Japanese forces had naval, air, and artillery superiority and were able to receive sufficient resupply and reinforcements, gradually turning the tide over several months. With most Chinese forces engaged in and around the city, a massive pincer counter-attack was prepared, similar to the Soviet victory at Stalingrad six years later. Severely weakened by the fighting in Shanghai and with many units in disarray, Chiang arranged a hasty defense of Nanjing while planning for a retreat to Chongqing, deep in the Chinese interior, to prepare for a long-term war of attrition. King Magazine and Ko?dansha King (???) was a mont.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Good. Original fold lines visible. Discoloration on upper-left quadrant (outside when folded). Size 15.5 x 21.5 Inches. This is a pair of maps (front and back of the same sheet) from 1938 covering Guangdong, Hong Kong, and the Central Yangzi Region, including Hankou and Nanchang (now Wuhan), made during the Second Si…no-Japanese War (World War II). It was published in King (???) magazine, a popular general interest monthly. Geography for the War Effort These maps fall into the genre of 'China Incident' maps published in Japanese newspapers and magazines in the late 1930s. The Japanese home front audience would have been eager to locate places where their loved ones were fighting, while the government and military wanted the public to be able to follow the course of the Imperial Army's victories. The front (recto) is a map of Guangdong Province with Hong Kong (and Macao) marked out in dashed lines, as they were then colonies of Portugal and Great Britain, respectively. The legend includes symbols for cities and towns, infrastructure, sea and air routes, geographic features, religious sites, and Japanese consulates. Inset maps (scale 1:100000) of Shantou (Swatow) and environs, Guangzhou (Canton), and Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong are included for reference. The verso (back) is titled as a map of Hankou and Wuchang, at left-center and bottom-center respectively, but the map (scale 1:1500000) shows the entire Central Yangtze River Region, including parts of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Henan Provinces. This region would be the site of a Japanese offensive later in the year across a long front, grouped under the heading 'Battle of Wuhan,' which resulted in a pyrrhic Japanese victory. An explanatory note in the left margin points out that different parts of the map shown here are based on maps published in King in the preceding months and years. The Second Sino-Japanese War The Second Sino-Japanese War was fought between the Republic of China, led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Guomindang (GMD, or Kuomintang KMT), and the Empire of Japan. Some scholars trace the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War to the Mukden Incident and the September 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In the following years, Japan established a puppet regime in Manchuria and extended its influence into northern China through several other 'incidents,' to the extent that it directly or indirectly controlled much of northern China and Inner Mongolia by 1937. Although determined to resist the Japanese, Chiang was eager to eliminate the domestic threat from the Communists first while also buying time to modernize his armies and gain better control over his generals, most of whom were semi-independent warlords. These plans were disrupted when Chiang was kidnapped by one of his own generals in December 1936 and forced to enter a united front with the Communists. Now compelled to turn his attention towards a war with Japan, it was not a matter of if but when a war would come. The July 7, 1937 Marco Polo Bridge Incident has traditionally been considered the start of the war, when Chinese and Japanese troops began exchanging fire at the Marco Polo (Lugou) Bridge, along a main access route to Beijing. This exchange of fire escalated to an all-out battle leading to Japanese forces capturing both Beijing and its port city of Tianjin. As the conflict expanded, Chiang aimed to deliver a knockout blow before Japanese reserves could be thrown into the fight. He also had to convince the Chinese public and the international community that he was intent on fighting a total war with Japan. Chiang launched an assault on Shanghai in the autumn of 1937 with his best troops and equipment, hoping to throw the Japanese garrison there into the sea, but was unable to completely drive them out. When Japanese reinforcements did arrive, they launched a counterattack that forced the Chinese to retreat from Shanghai with heavy losses. After a cursory defense of.

The January 28th, 1932 "Shanghai Incident" between China and Japan was part of larger regional territorial aspirations, and although an uneasy cessation of conflict was achieved in March, this was not to be the end of the matter. This interesting city plan shows Shanghai in detail with street names in both English and Chinese characters.

A panoramic photograph of the Bund taken over the rooftops of Pudong with numbers indicating the Japanese names of the buildings is featured at the foot of the map.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Very good. Some dampstaining along fold lines. Small spot of loss at fold intersection. Size 21.5 x 15.5 Inches. This is a 1938 map of the Battle of Wuhan in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937 - 1945) theater of World War II (1939 - 1945). It was published for the Japanese news daily, the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun . It c…overs much of central and southern China, particularly near the Yangtze River, in great detail; the battle raged over this area for much of the summer and autumn of 1938, resulting in a pyrrhic Japanese victory. A Closer Look at the Map This map shows the terrain of the Battle of Hankou (??; Hankow in contemporary sources, now part of Wuhan). Despite the name of the battle, it was in fact a wide-ranging campaign that spilled far beyond the city (at left-center), covering portions of six Chinese provinces. The map is extremely detailed, providing the names of a sea of small towns and villages. Just prior to the battle, Japan had entered a total war footing with the National Mobilization Law and called up conscripts. A home audience, especially those with family members at the front, would have been anxious to follow recent developments and have some sense of the places mentioned in the (tightly censored) news. The legend shows political boundaries, roads, railways (complete and under construction), and major cities. An inset map (1 : 8500000) shows the southern Chinese coast, including Hong Kong and the French Concession of Guangzhouwan marked out with dotted lines. After Japanese troops seized Guangzhou and other coastal cities, these territories and the Kunming-Haiphong Railway became essential routes for smuggling supplies to Chinese forces. The Second Sino-Japanese War The Second Sino-Japanese War was fought between the Republic of China, led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Guomindang (GMD, or Kuomintang KMT), and the Empire of Japan. Some scholars trace the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War to the Mukden Incident and the September 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria.

Aggiungi al carrelloLarge colourful folding map of East Asia, measuring 79 x 109cm. Small holes at folding points and closed tears on the verso, now neatly repaired with Japanese washi. Some light general wear but overall a bright and clean copy of this interesting map. Published in late 1937, this colourful pictorial map shows the dynamic military… situation in East Asia from the Japanese point of view. Showing somewhat inaccurate information with incomplete conclusions, this map provides a better understanding of why Japan made the ill-informed decision to escalate its invasion of China following the Marco Polo Bridge incident. The area covered includes Japan, Taiwan, China, and the Soviet Union, and attempts to show tensions along real and imagined zones of control. Information about Soviet and Chinese military power is also included on the map. These propaganda maps conveyed the extent of the Japanese government's ambition to the Japanese population, with the charming cartoon-style images of wildlife and other natural resources, industries and historical landmarks indicating the anticipated gains of Japanese foreign policy. Interestingly, positions of military forces, transport routes, defence structures, and radio transmission stations are also marked on the map, though many of these appear phantasmic and out of step with reality. An inset world map at lower left shows the area within a global context. Offering a glimpse into the incomplete information at the hands of the Japanese authorities, and perhaps in part understood by the mapmakers in the context of Chinese Communist and Soviet successes in Yan'an and Xinjiang, large sections of Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia are marked as under Soviet influence. At this stage, this region was largely under the control of Kuomintang-aligned warlords, and although the region was implicitly threatened by underground Communist insurgents, so too was the rest of China. The focussed attention given to Communist influence and China's internal political divisions is indicative of the failure of Japanese planners to anticipate the cooperation of Communist and Nationalist forces in the face of Japanese aggression. The text box at right translated reads "Current State of Affairs in East Asia." In the legend, the coloured boxes indicate the following areas: reading right to left: Dark yellow: Japan Pale yellow: Manchukuo Red: Soviet Union (Russia) Pink: Sovietised area Purple: Republic of China (China) Grey: China (North China Buffer State, where a special relationship with Japan is emerging) Green: East Hebei Autonomous Government.

Curiously, although the South Manchuria Railway between Harbin and Port Arthur had been fully completed by the time of the war's outbreak and publication of this map, the line north of Kaiyuan appears to be marked as incomplete, perhaps indicating an asymmetric spread of knowledge regarding the railway's progress among British cartographers. Also shown are inset maps of central Beijing, the area around Guangzhou, as well as the Southeast of England to the same scale for comparison. A line map of the area between Beijing and Tianjin is included on the reverse of the upper cover.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Average. Areas of discoloration and loss, especially along fold lines, repaired with infill on verso. Chips along edge. Size 30.25 x 20.25 Inches. An impressive large-format 1939 manga propaganda map of China and Korea compiled by a team led by political activist and union organizer Sengoku Kotaro and published as a…supplement to the periodical Ie no hikari . It was published at the height of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937 - 1945) (the Chinese theater of World War II), as Japan's initial advances slowed, and the war settled into a grueling stalemate. A Closer Look Coverage includes China, Mongolia, Manchuria, and Korea, with portions of surrounding territories. Cartoon figures representing farmers, soldiers, and workers of different nations appear throughout. Though outwardly innocuous, these illustrations reflect common, and often denigrating, Japanese perceptions of other Asian peoples, while also endorsing Japan's rationale for invading China in 1937. China is presented as a bountiful land of vast resources and hardy people, whose industriousness, it is implied, is only held back by ineffective government. Chinese farmers and laborers are seen lugging bags labeled 'wheat,' 'salt,' 'rice,' and so on, hinting at the resources that Japan hoped to acquire after the war. Aside from the large puppet state of Manchukuo towards top-right, figures in areas more recently occupied by Japanese troops, such as Beijing, Nanjing, and Inner Mongolia, wave flags and welcome Japan's benevolent influence. The depiction of Koreans is similarly loaded and self-serving, with an indolent yangban figure smoking opium, a peasant uprooting ginseng, and miners digging iron and coal. Conversely, soldiers and civilians of the Mongolian People's Republic (Outer Mongolia) and the Soviet Union are presented as obstinate and menacing, a threat all along the borders of Manchukuo and northern China. Aside from humans, animal figures, boats, and structures like the Great Wall of China are drawn to reflect regional characteristics. For instance, an unlucky goldminer in northern Heilongjiang, the northernmost point in China (or, rather, Manchukuo here), runs from an angry bear. Though Japanese and Chinese soldiers are not depicted, an inset map at bottom-right refers to the intense, ongoing conflict, indicating areas occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army as of the end of October 1938. The Second Sino-Japanese War The Second Sino-Japanese War was fought between the Republic of China, led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Guomindang (GMD, or Kuomintang KMT), and the Empire of Japan. Though generally dated to 1937, some scholars trace the beginning of the war to the Mukden Incident and the September 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In the following years, Japan established a puppet regime in Manchuria and extended its influence into northern China through several other 'incidents,' to the extent that it directly or indirectly controlled most of northern China and Inner Mongolia by 1937. Although determined to resist the Japanese, Chiang was eager to eliminate the domestic threat from the Communists first while also buying time to modernize his armies and gain better control over his generals, most of whom were semi-independent warlords. These plans were disrupted when Chiang was kidnapped by one of his own generals in December 1936 and forced to enter a united front with the Communists. Now compelled to turn his attention towards Japan, it was a matter not of if but when a full-scale war with Japan would come. The July 7, 1937 Marco Polo Bridge Incident has traditionally been considered the start of the war, when Chinese and Japanese troops began exchanging fire at the Marco Polo (Lugou) Bridge, along a main access route to Beijing. This exchange of fire escalated to an all-out battle leading to Japanese forces capturing both Beijing and its port city of Tianjin. As the conflict expanded, Chiang aimed to deliver a knockout blow before Japanese reserves could be.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Very good. Light wear along original folds. Light soiling in lower right quadrant. Size 15.25 x 21 Inches. This is a 1935 Japanese-language map of Ethiopia and its environs published by the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun in tandem with the Abyssinian Crisis at the outbreak of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935 -1937). The map… illustrates a little-known episode in pre-WWII history wherein Japan and Ethiopia considered the creation of an 'Alliance of Non-White Peoples.' A Closer Look The map covers all of modern-day Ethiopia, as well as parts of Eretria, Somalia, Djibouti, Sudan, and Kenya. Settlements, roads, railways (including those under construction), waterways, mountains, and other features are labeled throughout, as indicated in the legend at the bottom left. Colonial possessions and protectorates are color-coded so that Italy's are bright green, Britain's pink, France's purple, and so on. An inset in the upper right situates Ethiopia in the context of North Africa, and a text block in the lower right describes the country's people, history, political system, and geography. Alliance of Non-White Peoples Japan's reaction to the Abyssinian Crisis is not well-known but is both unexpected and fascinating. As an increasingly militaristic and nationalistic society that had itself left the League of Nations the year prior after a nakedly imperialist land grab in Manchuria, Japan would presumably align with Italy's militarist, nationalist government set on a naked land grab against the wishes of the League of Nations. But the opposite was the case. This was largely retaliation for Italy's opposition to Japan's invasion of Manchuria and subsequent improved relations with China. However, there were also deeper and longer-term connections between Japan and Ethiopia. Both were ancient hereditary empires, never conquered or dependent upon another nation, and both considered themselves threatened and oppressed by foreign (Western) powers. Moreover, Japan saw Ethiopia as a means of extending its economic influence in Africa. Starting in 1931, the two countries improved diplomatic and economic relations, signing a commercial treaty and discussing a scheme for sending 150,000 Japanese immigrants to grow cotton in Ethiopia and a similarly ambitious plan to have tens of thousands of laborers build irrigation systems around Lake Tana. The 1931 Constitution of Ethiopia was partly modeled on the 1890 Meiji Constitution, and a faction of modernizers in Addis Ababa came to be called 'Japanizers.' The Ethiopians also increasingly saw Japan as a means of resisting Italian designs on their land, appealing to Tokyo to send them weapons after the December 1934 border clashes between Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland. In the following months, the Italian press denounced Japanese meddling. In Tokyo, parades were held supporting the Ethiopian cause. (For its part, the Japanese Legation to Rome was much more measured, focusing on protecting Japan's economic interests in Ethiopia.) An important part of these enmities was racial, and the Japanese discourse around the Abyssinian Crisis was clear about resisting the overbearing incursions of the white race (a proxy for Western criticism of Japan's expanding influence in China). At the same time, in an August 1935 speech, Mussolini invoked the 'Yellow Peril' in denouncing Japanese criticism of Italy's actions in Ethiopia, claiming that Japan planned to use Africa as 'a bridge which the Yellow race would use to attack the white race.' Nevertheless, after Italy occupied Ethiopia, negotiations began on mutual recognition of Italian Ethiopia and Manchukuo as part of a broader rapprochement resulting in the Anti-Comintern Pact. Still, the experience helped Japan hone its message as the leading member of the non-Western (non-white) world and a liberator of colonized people. This message would become central to the country's self-image in the following years. Second Italo-Ethiopian War The origins of the Second Italo-Ethiopian.

Aggiungi al carrelloManuscript, ink and watercolour copy of this famous map which shows the disputed island of Dokdo/Takeshima. 52.3 x 71cm. Folded, some small areas of worming with neat washi repairs on reverse, browned at two corners not affecting the map itself, two red chops near corner. Overall a particularly attractive copy of this controvers…ial map. The controversial Japanese book and five accompanying maps, 'Sangoku tsüran zusetsu' published in 1785, describes the geography and customs of three countries - Kankoku (Korea) , Yezo or Ezo (present day Hokkaido), and Ryükyü (present day Okinawa). At the time of its publication Ha Yezo was only partially occupied by the Tokugawa government and although from 1609 Ryükyü was in reality under the control of the Shimazu clan in Satsuma (present Kagoshima Prefecture), the Shimazu clan allowed it to be an independent country superficially. Among the five maps published to accompany Sangoku tsüran yochi (General Route Map of Three Countries), is a map of Japan and its neighbouring countries which this is a manuscript copy of. The other four maps are: a map of Ryükyü (????), Yezo (?????), the eight provinces of Korea (?????), and Ogasawara Islands (????). This particular map, showing Japan and its neighbours attracts strong feelings even today as it shows the disputed islands, known to the Japanese as Takeshima ????/??, Dokdo - ??/?? to Koreans and Liancourt Rocks to English speakers, crucially marked as "Korea's possession". This is used by Korea as evidence for the legitimacy of their claim. The book and its accompanying maps, were an attempt to define Japan's borders and were banned on publication because the author, Hayashi Shihei, criticised Japanese maritime defence policy both in this and an earlier work. As frequently is the case, the banning of Sangoku tsüran zusetsu did nothing to deter interest in what Hayashi Shihei had to say and copies of the maps were made and circulated underground. This copy appears to be one of these underground copies. Kanji numbers are neatly written in the border framing the map showing longitude and latitude. At first glance this suggests accuracy but in fact the map does not accurately reflect scientific knowledge in Japan at that period. Only a few years before in 1779 Nagakubo Sekisui published a much more accurate map of Japan. The map is imprecise, especially as the map maker moved further from the familiar regions of Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. However it is clear that Hayashi Shihei's intention was not to concern himself with cartographical detail but, as he says on the map itself, "This is a small map to show the geographical relations between Japan and neighbouring countries such as Korea, Ryükyü, Yezo, Sakhalin, Kamchatka, and Sea Otter Island [Urup]." As this text suggests, the purpose was to show the location of Japan amongst her neighbouring countries rather to give a precise description of Japan and these countries. Previously in Japan there had been not much interest in mapping the region outside of Japan however with the increasing visits and incursions into Japanese territory by Russians, Dutch and other outsiders it became important to define and clarify Japan's borders. The manuscript is not dated but almost certainly this copy was made in the late Edo period, late 18th to early 19th century.

Paper browned and a little soiled in places, small holes at some fold points and edges neatly repaired with washi tissue on the verso. A handsome and striking map. This extra-large world map is richly illustrated with numerous phot…ographic images showcasing the overseas activities of the Japanese Imperial Navy. It traces the sailing routes of naval training ships between 1925 and 1928 and features several black and white photographs of the ships and their crew during visits to locations such as Paris, Rome, Egypt, and China. Inset charts on both sides of the map illustrate the growth of Japanese naval power from 1894 to 1928, in comparison with foreign navies including those of Britain, France, and Russia. The timing of the map?s publication is noteworthy. At the time, Japan was adhering to naval power limits set in proportion to other nations, such as Britain and the United States, under the Washington Naval Treaty. However, the inset charts clearly show a significant increase in Japanese naval strength over the years. By the 1930s, the treaty?s influence had declined, and Japan formally withdrew in 1933 following its departure from the League of Nations.
