About this Item

Colour lithographic pictographic/pictorial bird's eye view map, 15.5 x 74cm on sheet size, 18 x 77.5cm, text and images printed in blue on reverse, folding as issued to 18 x 9.7cm. Light even browning cover. Very good condition. Panoramic map of the island of Itsukushima (also known as Miyajima - "Shrine Island"), with a tourist guide to the island on the reverse. Text in Japanese. First published in 1925. The island, just offshore in Hiroshima Bay, is particularly famous for its shrine with a large red torii gateway standing in the sea, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage area. The colourful panoramic map shows the torii in the centre, with behind it a detailed depiction of the little port town of the island (each house delineated separately), and in the background, a steep staircase leading up the mountainside to the hilltop shrine. The guide on the reverse of the map gives details of the island's main landmarks and festivals. A steamboat service run by the Sanyo Railway Company made this a popular destination for visitors in the 1920s.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

Postage is extra at cost. We are pleased to accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal.

Shipping Terms

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
