Good. Fold lines visible. Small areas of loss at fold intersections. Toning along central fold line. Smudges at bottom, especially bottom-left. Size 30.75 x 21.25 Inches. This is a visually impressive 1904 Kashima Nagatoshi (????) map of East Asia, made in the opening months of the Russo-Japanese War. Although it clearly alludes to the ongoing conflict, this map is somewhat unusual for also placing the convlict in Northeast Asia in a much wider regional and global context. A Closer Look Japan experienced an outpouring of publications during the Russo-Japanese War, including numerous maps. The present map accomplishes much of what was prevalent among these publications because it focuses on the theater of war, especially in the inset of Port Arthur (Lüshunkou ???) at right. However, it is also atypical because it incorporates a much broader geographic scope, illustrating the eastern end of Eurasia along with China and Korea in the central map along with the entirety of Afro-Eurasia in the inset at bottom-right. Rail and shipping lines are illustrated throughout, with the distances of shipping lines noted. The legend includes symbols for transportation and communication lines, administrative divisions, and geographic features. Scales are given in Japanese ri , Chinese li , and Korean ri (all represented by the character ?), as well as standard nautical miles. Colored inks distinguish the Japanese and Russian empires, Joseon Korea, and other polities, including individual Chinese provinces. Elevation is illustrated by hachure. Immediate Context This map was published a few months after the start of the conflict, which commenced with a major naval battle in February 1904 that was indecisive but resulted in the Russian Far East Fleet being bottled up at Port Arthur. In the following months, sporadic naval engagements led to tit-for-tat sinkings but no major change in the situation, as the Russian naval forces were protected by naval batteries at Port Arthur but not confident enough to fight a battle on the open seas. Meanwhile, Japanese troops landed in Korea and rapidly advanced to the Liaoning Peninsula. But they saw only slow and costly progress against the heavily fortified Russian positions approaching Port Arthur. Significantly, soon before this map was published, on April 13, the Russian naval commander Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov (??????? ????????? ????????) was killed by a naval mine along with more than 600 Russian sailors. The incident sapped the already-sagging morale of Russian forces and disrupted their command structure (Makarov's replacement was stuck at Vladivostok, unable to reach Port Arthur). Russo-Japanese War The Russo-Japanese War, fought from February 8, 1904 - September 5, 1905, pitted Imperial Japan against Tsarist Russia over rival ambitions in Manchuria and Korea. Both Russia and Japan had grand visions for the region. Russia traditionally had only one Pacific port, Vladivostok, which was operational only during the warm summer months. In 1898, Russia coerced China, then weakened after the First Sino-Japanese War (1894 - 1895), to lease them Port Arthur, a warm water port on the Liaodong Peninsula. They also negotiated a right-of-way to connect Port Arthur to the China Eastern Railway, which ran from nearby Jinzhou (Dalian, Dalniy) to Harbin, and ultimately linked up with the Trans-Siberian Railway. Port Arthur was thus the cornerstone of a sphere of influence covering Manchuria and Korea. Japan had its own imperial designs and saw itself as the natural overlord in East Asia, particularly after their victory in the First Sino-Japanese War. Korea and Manchuria were also important to the Japanese as steppingstones into China, with its seemingly unlimited resources. There was initially some attempt at negotiation between the imperialist powers. The Japanese leadership was far from unified on a decision to attack Russia given the size of Russia's military and the high financial costs of a war. But the.…
