Item description from seller

This detailed. color map depicts Osaka City The cartography combines dense urban detail in the former city core with newly incorporated outer wards, rendered in contrasting color blocks to clarify administrative boundaries. Major transport corridors, including railways, municipal streetcar lines, and arterial roads, are emphasized in red, underscoring the central role of mass transit in interwar urban planning. Waterways are prominently shown in blue reflecting large-scale engineering projects undertaken. Parks, government land, military installations, and reclaimed waterfront districts illustrate both civic reconstruction and industrial expansion. The absence of air-raid or wartime markings suggests a mid-1930s date, prior to the militarization of urban cartography during the Pacific War. As a whole, the map embodies the optimism and ambition of early Showa-period It is an important visual document of prewar Japanese urbanism and metropolitan identity, capturing a city that would soon be irrevocably altered by war and postwar redevelopment. The map is printed on paper and was originally issued folded. It remains structurally intact. There is overall age-related toning to the sheet, most noticeable along the fold lines and outer margins. Multiple vertical and horizontal folds are present, with light surface wear and soft creasing at fold intersections. The margins show minor edge wear, including small nicks and short tears, particularly at the corners; these do not extend into the printed image. There is localized abrasion and slight loss of surface paper along some folds, consistent with repeated handling and storage. No major losses to the cartographic image are observed, and all text, boundaries, and color printing remain legible. Colors have slightly muted with age but remain clear and well differentiated. No evidence of water staining, mold, or later retouching is apparent. Overall, the map is in good to very good condition for a folded, commercially issued Japanese city map of the 1930s, with wear consistent with age and use.
