This wonderful old map of Japan's invasion and occupation the Manchurian coast and Northeast China was originally published in 1936. It was created by an anonymous mapmaker.
With Chinese and Japanese writing, this rare and colourful map illustrates the land the Japanese had seized in the North East of China just before World War 2 broke out.
The Japanese invaded Manchuria for its resources and land to help Japan's growing industries and economy, providing them with coal, iron and an area to provide houses for the growing Japanese population.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 24x36in (61x91.5cm), 30x40in (76x101.5cm), 37x50in (94x127cm), 45x60in (114x152.5cm) and 52x70in (132x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 90in (229cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Japan's invasion and occupation the Manchurian coast and Northeast China or the history of Japan.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
