🌏 A Landmark in Cartographic Tradition

Few maps carry the prestige of being drawn from the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World, a reference that has long been regarded as the benchmark of cartographic excellence. The Asia North East Wall Map embodies this tradition, presenting one of the world’s most dynamic regions with clarity, authority, and elegance.

This map captures the essence of Northeast Asia, one of the most complex geopolitical landscapes in the modern world, with precision and balance. Whether you are a teacher, historian, traveller, executive, or collector, this wall map offers far more than geography—it provides context, insight, and inspiration.

📍 Regional Coverage in Detail

This map covers the heart of Northeast Asia, encompassing both historic lands and modern power centres:

• Japan: From the northernmost island of Hokkaido to the subtropical shores of Okinawa, showing major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Sapporo.

• Koreas: Both South Korea and North Korea are clearly presented, with their capitals—Seoul and Pyongyang—standing as focal points of the peninsula.

• Eastern China: The industrial and cultural powerhouse region, including Beijing, Tianjin, and surrounding provinces.

• Russian Far East: From Vladivostok to Sakhalin, an often-overlooked but geopolitically vital region.

Every major political boundary, coastline, transport link, and settlement is clearly represented. With over 1,000 named places, the map brings together urban, political, and geographic detail in a clear, uncluttered design.
