The Asahi Shimbun's 1918 Topographic Map of the Empire of Japan is a meticulously crafted and high-resolution representation of the Japanese archipelago and its adjacent territories. This map, a cherished historical artifact, graced the pages of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper on November 3, 1918, enriching our understanding of the era.

The map comprises two distinct sections: a primary map covering the entire Japanese archipelago, which encompasses the key islands—Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu—along with the Ryukyu and Kuril Islands; and an inset map that offers a closer examination of Hokkaido, providing finer details of the island.

Vibrantly color-coded, this map illustrates varying elevation levels. The loftiest peaks are vividly depicted in red, descending through hues of orange, yellow, and green before transitioning to blue. Conversely, the lower-lying areas are presented in serene white. To further enhance its utility, the map employs a variety of symbols to denote rivers, lakes, cities, towns, thoroughfares, and railway networks.

An invaluable resource, the Asahi Shimbun's 1918 Topographic Map is an essential asset for historians and researchers captivated by Japan's geographical evolution during the early 20th century. It offers a captivating window into the ever-changing landscape of the nation.
