Colour folding illustrated map, charts, black and white photographic illustrations with interpretive text on reverse. Neat repairs on reverse along upper margin and folds, light stain at the middle of the lower edge. 55 x 79cm. Still an attractive map.

The map of China and surrounding areas are richly illustrated with little images showing the resources and products of the countries of East Asia together with their road, railway, sea and air routes which are marked in detail. Inset charts show Chinese trade figures in detail. The reverse side of the map provides summary information on China, each region, Manchukuo, and Outer Mongolia with black and white photographic illustrations. Chinese trade and resource graphs are printed on the corner of the map and include steel, petroleum, rice, pigments and dyes, wood products etc; comprehensive information on population, Chinese governments and Western investments are included in the reverse side.

The map was a supplement of Volume 3, Number 1 issue of the Tonichi Jikyoku Joho (Tokyo Nichinichi Shinbun Current Affair and Information) in January 1939, which later became Mainichi Jikyoku Joho. The map and detailed information demonstrate the deep interest Japan had in China and its resources at this time reflecting its territorial desires.
