This is an early 20th-century Japanese geography atlas titled “Latest Unified Foreign Maps” (Saikin Tōgō Gaikoku Chizu), authored by Manjirō Yamaué and published in 1913 (Taisho 2) by Dai-Nippon Tosho Co., Ltd. Compact in size yet richly detailed, this atlas contains numerous beautifully colored maps covering the entire world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, Oceania, and thematic world maps such as global transportation routes, climate distribution, population groups, and physical geography. The color printing is characteristic of the Taisho era—soft yet vivid, with fine detailing that reflects early modern Japanese cartographic design. Many maps span across two pages, creating impressive panoramic layouts. The book shows its age with foxing, edge wear, and some stains on the cover and endpapers, but all maps remain clear and visually appealing. The spine and binding are intact, and the atlas retains its original historical character. This atlas is a valuable item for collectors of antique maps, Japanese educational materials, Taisho-era printing, and early 20th-century world geography. Its combination of artistic map design and historical educational purpose makes it an excellent piece for display or research.
