Pub Note:
"This map was issued as the New Year supplement for the very popular Japanese magazine, Kingu (King), in January 1937. The editorial principle of the magazine was "to offerfun and useful information for the readers", and its monthly sales reached more than a million copies in 1928. This large map of Asia and the Soviet Union provides detailed geographical information together with data on the strength of the Soviet Red Army. The Jewish Autonomous State is marked in an area where there are high concentrations of Red Army forces. Additional information such as trading figures, population and Soviet, French and British foreign powers' spheres of influence in China are also shown. The population of Japanese residents in various regions are given: for example, 1,335,790 Japanese residents in Manchuria and 3,813 in eastern Russia. This map provides not only geographical information on Asia, but also some information on the military strength of the Soviet Union, which at the time was regarded as the formidable threat by Japan. This map foreshadows the many battles that were to be fought in the region within just a few short years of its publication. (inset) A map titled "Military Forces around the Republic of China" showing the advance of the Communist forces into China. The two charts are: "Comparison of the Land Size and Population among Major Asian Nations" and "Japan's Trade with Other Asian Nations", which shows the monetary size of Japan's import and export with other Asian nations. It is notable that Manchukuo is the largest export market for Japan and the second largest for imports. Other than the usual indications of borders, cities, air and sea routes, etc., the legend includes the Red Army bases and the concentrated areas of the Red Army. The map also shows the naval strength of Japan, the US, and the UK and the army strength of China and the Soviet Union as well as the number of the Japanese living in Manchuria, China, India, South-east Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia and so on."
