A striking 1943 (Showa 18) World War II Japanese Hatano Keisuke (畠野圭右) propaganda map of the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and the East Indies. Roughly centered on the Philippines, coverage extends from the Bay of Bengal to Florida and from Alaska to Tasmania. Sunken Allied ships are illustrated - as are active ships, and Allied air and sea bases. The purposeful distortion of scale serves to underscore the expansiveness of the Japanese Empire and the importance of the East Indian theater to its goals. The cartoonish aspect of the map, the beginnings of Japanese manga tradition, also make clear that it was intended for children. Some early editions of the map feature Japanese flags on captured territories - here they are absent, reflecting how, by 1943, the war had turned against the Imperial Japan and most of its early territorial gains were reversed.
