A general discussion of the Empire Regional Geography was presented by R. Ishida in 1966. Some 6400 volumes of Village Topographies were presented to the Geography Bureau, Ministry of Home Affairs towards the end of the 1880's, but most of them have been scattered and lost due to the Kwanto earthquake disaster of 1923. As a result of this disaster, a book named the Empire Regional Geography, the compilation of these topographies, has never been published. However, having outlined village topographies, several editions including Regional Geography of Japan : A Summary and A Handbook of Local Administrative Divisions were published in the 1880's. While some series of duplicates of the village topographies of Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefectures were discovered and compiled for publication, few village topography-dupulicates of this enterprise were published in a series or discussed in Western Japan. It is truly significant that all of the 39 duplicates of the topographies covering the area of the present Kasaoka City and a series of the topography duplicates of all 67 villages comprising pre-Oda County were discovered. It is very rare that, in all, as many as 70 duplicates of village topographies (together with a duplicate of county topography) of the continuous region were presented as early as 1876 to the Prefectual Governor.
