Map of all countries - Bankokuzu

Japanese: 万国図 - ばんこくず
Map of all countries - Bankokuzu
A map depicting the countries of the world. From the 17th century to the end of the 19th century, the terms "world map" and "world map in its entirety" were used to mean "world map" or "world map in its entirety." Currently, it is also used as an abbreviation for "international map of the world on the million scale" (IMW).
[1:1,000,000 International Map]
It began at the 5th International Geographical Congress in Bern in 1881, when A. Penck proposed the creation of international maps with unified scales, projections, and symbols. The first IMW conference was held in London in 1909, and in 1920 the central secretariat was established in the British Ordnance Survey.
