Fusazō Sugie (sold) (杉江房造)


Fusazō Sugie (杉江房造; fl. c. 1910 – 1950) was a Japanese bookseller, printer, and active in Shanghai during the final years of the Qing. Fusazō was the owner of the Nihon-do Japanese Bookstore (日本堂書店) in Shanghai, located at 155 Hong-Kou-Wen Street and 237 Woosung Road. He issued numerous guidebooks, souvenir photo books, and maps associated with Shanghai and Nanjing, many of which were bilingual and marketed to American and European tourists and servicemen. His bilingual New Map of Shanghai, published in various states and editions from 1931 well into the 1940s, is his most notable cartographic work.

An extremely rare bi-lingual Chinese/English map of Shanghai, China, here in its first edition, issued by the Shanghai-Japanese cartographer Sugie Fusazō (杉江房造) in May of 1927, or Showa 2. This map was produced in the wake of the pro-Nationalist anti-Communist Shanghai Massacre of April 1927, considered the beginning of the Chinese Civil War (國共內戰; 1927 - 1945). This is also the first of Sugie Fusazō's maps to include a panorama of the city (more specifically the Bund), a convention that would be followed in some later editions of the map. The map focuses on the extraterritorial Foreign Concessions huddled around the confluence of the Hunagpu River (Whangpoo) and Soochow Creek (Suzhou). The Japanese area is highlighted in orange, the British in red, the American in Pink, and the large separate French Concession in Yellow. The map extends westward along the Extraterritorial Roads, also administered by the Concessions, as far as the Jessfield Road (Zhongshan) Toyoda Factory, precursor of the modern conglomerate Toyota.
