Vintage fold-out color-lithographed railway map of the Osaka-Nara-Kyoto-Nagoya area of Japan, with schedule of service in 1940, during the year-long celebration of A.D. 2600.

• It opens to 39 x 54 cm [15¼" x 21¼"] and includes a legend key and an inset of the Kashihara Jingu grounds, with the mausoleum of Emperor Jimmu.



• The era after the enthronement of Emperor Jimmu is colloquially known as the Japanese imperial year or "national calendar year," based on the legendary foundation of Japan in 660 BC.



• On the reverse side there are photographs and descriptions of various shrines and points of interest.



• Condition:  The map is in very good, lightly used condition. It folds to approximately 7½" x 4" and is complete and intact, with minor wear and a hand-printed notation by a previous owner. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
