Niigata Shinbun
Niigata Shinbun (1892 - 1912) was a Japanese newspaper based in Niigata. The newspaper was owned by Suzuki Chōzō briefly run by the important Japanese statesman, Yukio Ozaki (尾崎 行雄; December 24, 1859 - October 6, 1954), when he was just 20. At the time the provincial Niigata Shimbun was one of the most prominent Japanese newspaper of the Meiji period. It went into decline in the early 20th century and, by 1912, was out of business.
Issued just days after the outbreak of the Qing-Japan War or First Sino-Japanese War.

A rare 1894 map of Korea drawn to illustrate the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War (1894 - 1895). The war broke out on July 25th, and this map went to the presses on July 31st, just 6 days later. The map covers all of modern-day South Korea and North Korea, as well as parts of adjacent Manchuria. Korea is here divided into provinces with major cities, and the roadways connecting them, noted. Topography is rendered with hachure. In the lower left a large inset detail telegraph cables and shipping lanes between China and Korea. Ostensibly the map is intended to offer a comparative view of China and Korea, but in fact, merely illustrates connections between the two nations - which would of course be of great intersect at the outbreak of a war that would largely be fought in Korea and China.
