More Information
This is a stunning large format Japanese map of New Zealand dating to World War II, and one of the most beautiful cartographic depictions of New Zealand to appear in the 20th century. It covers the entirety of New Zealand, including North Island and South Island with insets of important harbors in the upper left and lower right quadrants. The map offers superb detail regarding both topographical and political elements, noting cities and roads as well as air and sea routes. Blue shading is used to indicate oceanic depths. All text is in Japanese. This map was created by the Japanese during World War II as part of a series of folding maps of parts of Asia and Pacific and is possibly suggestive of Japanese imperial ambitions for this region. This map is no. 17 in that series.

What is Infinity Framing?
Wow Factor
Infinity frame
The image is printed on a durable fabric, which is stretched inside a slim aluminum frame. It’s transportable, interchangeable, and easy to assemble. Our infinity frame pieces for large sized prints will lend a “wow” factor to your space.
Better than Canvas
The colors in our fabric prints are crisp and true to life, with a matte, glare-free finish. With our printing process, the colors permeate the fabric, rather than settling on top, which reduces the risk of scratching or fading. Your art will last a long time!
Easy to Install
Assemble the frame in minutes, insert the fabric print into the grooves, and your art is ready to hang!
