Zuijin zhi Dongya Xingshi Tujie [Map Explaining the Latest Situation in East Asia]. Mainichi Shimbun Osaka Office, Japan, Showa period, 1937.
Highly pictorial Japanese propaganda map of East Asia, issued just six months before the outbreak of the second Sino-Japanese War. The map focuses on China's military situation, and shows a separate Manchuria and Jidong Autonomous Region. Heavy industry, military communication and supply lines, airfields, and foreign military bases are delineated, with the note that there are '200,000 Communists' at the Chinese Communist Party's northern Shaanxi base. The projection of the map is such that it illustrates the 'horseshoe formation', showing Manchuria, 'the lifeline of Japan', as being surrounded by Japan's enemies.
Chomo-lithographic map of East Asia, 780 x 1065 mm. Territories in yellow and identified with a red cross, other parts of the globe colored in green or red, explanatory title at foot, inset world map at lower left, labelled mainly in Japanese and Chinese characters. (Mild toning, long closed tear repaired with old tape, some other tears, edgewear.)
