About This Item

[Tokyo].: 東京鉄道局. [Tōkyō Tetsudōkyoku].. 1937.. Folding colour map, 53 x 76cm, text on reverse with some show-through on map as issued. A few small holes at folds now neatly mended, some light wear but overall an attractive and unusual map which we have not been able to locate in any library holdings of any library. Produced as part of Japan's late 1930s National Spiritual Mobilization Movement (Kokumin Seishin Sodoin Undo), this 1937 map of major Shinto shrines in and around Tokyo was published by the Tokyo Railway Office to encourage local residents to demonstrate their patriotism and piety by visitng shrines. The map shows twenty major shrines, with the relevant rail and bus routes needed to visit them. Text on the reverse provides an outline of the location and history of each shrine and the dates when the shrine's annual festival is held. The borders of the map are inscribed with the words "Fear the Gods and Respect the Ancestors" (Keishin Suso) and "National Spiritual Mobilization", and with a quotation from the Emperor Meiji. .
