Tōyō Confectionary (東洋製菓株式會社)


Tōyō Confectionary (東洋製菓株式會社; fl. c. 1900 - 1927) was a Japanese confectionary formed as a joint stock corporation backed by several confectioners and bakers in Tokyo and Yokohama, including Kimura Gishirō (木村儀四郎). Tōyō had a particularly and important reliable customer in the Japanese military, which ordered hardtack biscuits from the company in the era of the Russo-Japanese War. Tōyō also had an in-house publisher that produced books about confectionery and at least one map of Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese War.

This is a peculiar and very rare c. 1905 'battle map' of Manchuria produced by the Tōyō Confectionary. While this may seem an odd producer for a war map, Tōyō was a major purveyor of food for the Japanese military, namely hardtack biscuits, and thus had a sustained interest in the course of the conflict.
