1931réf. 216820東京. Tokyo.: 大日本雄弁会講談社. Dainihon Yūbenkai Kōdansha. Showa 6 1931. Large colour folding map of the world with attractive border of some curiously chosen merchant ensigns and coats of arms along the upper and lower margins 78 x 110 cm. Neat repairs along some folds on reverse a little toning on map but still a good attractive copy. This large map of the world was issued as the new year supplement for a boys' magazine Shonen Kurabu 少年倶楽部 in January 1931. Japan and its territories in red are positioned in the centre of the map. The vastness of Russia and the British Empire stand out and the Irish Free State is still indicated as being part of the UK. Interestingly Russia is still shown in its customary Imperial green rather than the more common red that was typically adopted for the Soviet Union. . 大日本雄弁会講談社. [Dainihon Yūbenkai Kōdansha]. unknown

Occasional browning overall very good. This compelling periodical collection Nihon no iryō o kokuhatsu suru subete no hitobito no tsudoi highlights significant issues related to healthcare services and medical practices in Japan during the 1970s. At that time while Japan experienced rapid economic growth serious problems in the health sector were emerging such as air pollution illnesses caused by medication and cases of medical negligence. However openly addressing these issues was difficult due to internal pressures. Contributors to the journal were health industry professionals aiming to inform the broader public about the realities within the sector. The topics covered are diverse but remain crucial for both healthcare practitioners and consumers. The periodical's publisher was based at the Department of Psychiatry at Tokyo University a focal point of the 1960s student movement. . 日本の医療を告発するすべての人々 unknown

ABOUT: Rare anthology devoted to modern Soviet wood engraving and printmaking, published in Shanghai by Sanjian Shuwu and distributed through Uchiyama Bookstore (內山書店). The volume gathers fifty-nine collotype reproductions of woodcuts by several leading figures of the Russian and Soviet printmaking revival of the 1920s and 1930s, including Vladimir Favorsky, Dmitri Mitrokhin, Alexei Kravchenko and Pavel Pavlinov. Accompanied by Chen Jie's abridged translation of an essay by Soviet art historian A. D. Chegodaev, as well as a preface, plate catalogue and postface, the work was conceived as an introduction to contemporary Soviet printmaking for Chinese readers. A remarkable testimony to Sino-Soviet artistic exchanges in Republican-era Shanghai, it belongs to the context of the New Woodcut Movement (新興木刻運動), then flourishing under the influence of left-wing intellectual circles and cultural networks associated with Uchiyama Bookstore and the figure of Lu Xun. The reproductions were assembled from Soviet books, periodicals and documentary sources discovered in the early 1930s, notably through the journal Graphika. /// 中文：三閒書屋出版 — 《引玉集：木刻五十九幅》 — 1935年4月再版 — 32開（19.5 × 15.5厘米）精裝本，黑色書脊，封面貼書名籤 — 68頁 — 收錄蘇聯木刻作品59幅，以珂羅版工藝依據藝術家提供之原拓本複製印製 — 附陳節摘譯 A.

1719réf. 218447Japan.: 大本營海軍報道部 Daihonei Kaigun Hōdōbu. Showa 17 1942. Large colour folding map 165 x 215.8cm. Some strengthening of folds and neat repairs on reverse small chip in margin a little light browning on some folds but overall very good. This extra-large world map presents a detailed depiction of global wartime activity during the latter half of 1942. Japanese military campaigns and land and sea battles that occurred between 10 April and the end of September are marked in red with all naval engagements included. The map highlights the growing intensity of conflict in Southeast Asia and the Pacific areas that appear to have reached the height of military activity at the time of publication. In Europe regions under German and Italian control are indicated with blue diagonal lines. A comprehensive legend identifies military air and submarine bases belonging to Germany Italy and the Allied nations as well as territories occupied or bombed by Japanese forces. . 大本營海軍報道部 [Daihonei Kaigun Hōdōbu]. unknown
1719réf. 219230東京. Tokyo.: 日本放送協会. Nihon Hōsō Shuppan Kyōkai. Showa 17 1942. Colour folding map scale 1: 10000000 54.7cm x 79.5cm chronology of building the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere on reverse. Some light browning a little darker at folds and reverse washi repairs to folds on reverse. This colour map of Asia and the Pacific published on 30 January 1942—just one month after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor—offers a striking glimpse into wartime strategy and propaganda. Remarkably despite being produced at the war's outset it accurately anticipated key battlegrounds that would define the conflict. The main map is supplemented by two inset maps: one in the upper right highlighting Japan the Hawaiian Islands and Honolulu and another in the lower left focusing on Singapore with Darwin marked along the lower edge. The reverse side features a revealing chronological chart titled "Building Great East Asia" documenting Japan's military expansion from the 1931 Manchurian Incident through January 1942 as troops advanced across Southeast Asia. Notably two blank rows were intentionally left at the chart's end anticipating future victories to be recorded as the war progressed—a telling detail that underscores the map's dual role as both strategic document and propaganda tool. An interesting map which combines geographical precision with ideological messaging. . 日本放送協会. [Nihon Hōsō Shuppan Kyōkai]. unknown

This conference also known as The Washington Naval Conference; The Washington Arms Conference or the Washington Disarmament Conference was a meeting of delegates from nine nations - the USA Japan China France Britain Italy Belgium the Netherlands and Portugal. This group which very deliberately excluded Russia met in this interesting post WWI world to discuss and negotiate their interests in the Pacific and the East Asian region. Three major treaties were some of the results of the conference: Four-Power Treaty; Five-Power Treaty also known at the Washington Naval Treaty and the Nine-Power Treaty together with a number of other smaller agreements. These treaties helped keep the peace throughout the 1920s and also helped Japan build up her navy and work on consolidating her position in China. The decisions and actions that took place at this conference clearly had an effect on the lead up to World War II in East Asia and it can be argued still have echoes today on relationships with and within the region today. . 外交部.

The two lower left panels are browned some occasional spotting other margins worn along folds. An interesting map. This captivating map designed for children delineates air bases and flight routes surrounding Japan during the late 1930s. It served as a new year supplement within the pages of the children's science magazine "Kodomo no Kagaku" Science for Children presumably issued in the latter part of the 1930s. As events unfolded the Pacific War emerged as an air power-centric conflict and this map adeptly illustrates the strategic positioning of air bases across Asia and the Pacific representing various nations. The map's legend highlights air bases belonging to Britain the US the Soviet Union and France along with their corresponding flight routes. Noteworthy Australian locations such as Melbourne Charleville and Darwin are marked along a primary air route. On the reverse side a comprehensive explanation about air power unfolds complete with a chart detailing the air forces of major nations and their strength as of 1935 which strikingly reveals Japan's relative vulnerabilities. . 誠文堂新光社.
