Kyōto city map. 17.3 x 21.5cm Occasional light browning on margins of a few maps but all maps in very good condition. This very attractive collection of nine hand-coloured copper engraved maps was most likely published during the early Meiji period between the 1870s and early 1880s. The first three maps depicting Japan Kyoto and Osaka probably date from the early 1870s. On the Osaka map the site of Osaka Castle is still identified simply as a castle while the map of Japan uses Edo-period regional names such as Tosa rather than Kochi Prefecture. The remaining six maps appear to be slightly later probably dating from the early 1880s. On one of these Osaka Castle is identified as military headquarters reflecting the military use of the site during the Meiji period. The map of Kobe also includes an inset railway timetable for services between Kyoto and Kobe. The railway linking the two cities opened in 1877 providing a further indication of the map’s date. The maps are delicately drawn and contain minute details including town names and the locations of numerous public and commercial facilities. Maps of the treaty ports of Hakodate Niigata Nagasaki and Kobe are particularly uncommon. The Hakodate map features attractive illustrations of a Western-style sailing ship and steamship while the Kobe map shows the foreign concession and a cemetery for foreign residents. . unknown

The Legend shows territorial Control of Ocean Areas marking Japanese Naval and Air bases as of 1941 and "according to latest reports" those established in the first six months of 1942. Also shown are pre-war sovereignties as at the bombing of Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941.
