‎JAPANESE 19TH CENTURY WORLD MAP.‎

‎新訂 地球萬國方圖. Shintei Chikyū bankoku hōzu. New Edition: Map of the Countries of the World.‎

‎New Edition. 嘉永6 1853. Large folding colour woodblock map of the world with four inset maps at lower left. 82 x 132 cm. Folds into embossed paper covered boards 27 x 17cm. A little light wear along folds some tape repairs on the reverse few very short tears along folds at upper edge lower cover annotated in ink occasional browning. Very good. This handsome map is similar to Nakajima Suido's 1852 "Revised Map of the Countries of the World" though with less text. The map includes some interesting naming of the seas. The section of the Pacific closest to the Americas is labelled "North Pacific Sea" 北太平海 and South Pacific Sea 南太平海」but the western Pacific is labelled Great East Ocean 大東洋 the sea immediately to the east of Japan is the "Great Japan Sea" 大日本海 and the sea between Japan and Korea is labelled "Sea of Korea" 朝鮮海. The depiction of coastlines is fairly accurate though for example Australia's southern coastline has been somewhat flattened but the division of the world into countries is quite approximate. For example South America is divided into two countries and the central part of Africa is occupied by a very large "Ethiopia". Great attention is paid to the northern areas of Japan with detailed naming of places along the coastline of Ezo Hokkaido and the Chishima Islands. The Bonins literally meaning "uninhabited islands" to the southeast of Japan are represented by a single island labelled "Mumeitou" Nameless Island. <br> <br>Latitude and longitude is shown as a grid of straight lines without taking into account the curve of the earth's surface. Australia is labelled both "New Holland" and "Osutarari" written in kanji. . hardcover‎

‎JAPANESE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY DESIGN.‎

‎Album of Japanese Matchbox Labels‎

‎1930s. Collection of over 280 matchbox labels laid down in an oblong album. Album measures 15 x 21.5cm. Some labels are torn with a little loss to corners and edges and there is some wear to others. An attractive album. <br> <br>The delightful images featured on these labels are largely advertisements of restaurants and cafés but also featured are bars drinks a bank barbers pool halls mah-jong parlour petrol stations inns fruit shops Western-style apparel and accessories shops Shiseido medicine and so on. These businesses were located in Tokyo or the surrounding regions. Although none of the labels has a date they are probably labels from the Taisho and early Showa Eras before the end of World War II. The kanji used in these labels is old one which indicates that the labels were made before the end of the war. There are two labels advertising Showa Bank. This bank was established in 1927 after the Showa Financial Crisis to rescue depositors of and companies which had business relations with the failed banks. Showa Bank existed until 1944. There is one label advertising a movie Tawamureni koi-ha sumaji 戯れに戀はすまじ No Trifling with Love which premiered in 1933. There are two labels advertising Kabuki plays at the Kabuki-za Theatre. One of them shows the play title "Itō Hirobimi to Li Kō-shō　伊藤博文と李鴻章 Itō Hirobumi and Li Hong-zhang" This play was performed in 1933. Some of the shops and companies represented in these labels are still trading today. Examples of these businesses are Takashimaya Department Store Shiseido and a restaurant Seiyō-ken. Matches started to be mass-produced from 1870s in Japan. Matches fast became one of Japan's major export products and attractive copper-plate printed labels with multi-colours first appeared in 1879. In 1889 the value of match exports exceeded a million yen and the countries of export included Australia. The continued rise in the popularity of Japanese matches was reflected in the rising revenue that these match exports brought into Japan. The export revenue total of a million yen reached in 1889 was more than doubled by 1892 to 2.2 million by 1899 it was almost 6.3 million yen in 1902 over 8 million yen and by 1905 the product accounted for 10 million yen a year in exports. By 1896 75% of matches used in China were made in Japan. <br> <br>Matchbox labels became a popular medium for advertising restaurants and cafes and shops. During the Taisho and Showa era it was a common practice for businesses to have these delightful tiny advertisements as part of their marketing. The images included in this album are striking examples of the sophisticated world of design in Japan at the time. . unknown‎
