Atlas containing ten pictorial colour maps, one folding and nine full page, [20pp], coloured pictorial wrappers, light wear edges but overall a very good copy of a most attractive atlas. A striking item with many fascinating colourful pictorial maps. 25.8 x 33.2cm.

This vibrant pictorial atlas of Japan and Manchuria was distributed as a supplement to the May issue of Shonen Kurabu (The Boy Club), published in 1935. Encompassing the entire Japanese Empire at its zenith in 1935, the maps extend to cover mainland Japan, Sakhalin, Taiwan, Micronesian islands, Korea, and Manchuria. Each map meticulously presents geographical details, railway networks, sailing routes, along with agricultural and mineral products specific to each area. Additionally, the maps portray the lifestyles of regional populations.

Accompanying the maps, the facing pages provide detailed descriptions and interpretations, emphasizing the productivity of each region. The overarching intent is to inspire young male readers to explore not only the mainland but also the overseas colonies, fostering a sense of adventure and curiosity about the diverse territories within the Japanese Empire.
