Additional Information
Dating to 1918, this topographic map registers the Empire of Japan during the Taish? era, following the jagged spine of mountains that runs the length of the archipelago. Shaded relief and delicate contours reveal a country of volcanic peaks, deep valleys, and a long and sinuous coastline.
A topographic map sets aside artifice in favor of the land itself, picturing the very shape of the terrain. Here the lofty, mountainous core of the home islands rises in subtle gradations, while rivers thread down through steep gorges toward narrow coastal plains.
By 1918 Japan had grown swiftly into a modernizing industrial nation, its cities and new railways spreading outward through these years. The map takes in the country and the territories it then governed, its mountains and rivers drawn in quiet, methodical exactness.
This map stands as a testament to a formative chapter in Japan's modern story, offering a window into the islands as surveyors plotted them a century ago. Among the most absorbing maps of its era, it lends a calm, meditative stillness to any living room, office, or study.
