Gaihozu are maps of areas outside the Japanese territory, such as China, Manchuria, Southeast Asia, and Pacific Ocean islands, which were prepared and reproduced by the General Staff Office of the former Japanese Army from the Meiji Era until the end of World War II. The gaihozu collection of Ochanomizu University consists of approximately 12,900 pieces, making it the largest of its kind among universities in Japan. It is currently housed in the map room of the Department of Geography of the university. This collection is made up of (l) maps purchased from the Institute of Resource Sciences (these maps originally came from the General Staff Office at Ichigaya, Tokyo, at the end of the war), (2) maps collected during the time of the Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School, the precursor of Ochanomizu University, and (3) maps donated by various individuals affiliated with the Department of Geography of Ochanomizu University. In addition to topographic maps, the collection features also aeronautical charts, marine charts, and geological maps, and while centering on Asia and the Pacific, it covers a vast area ranging from Alaska in the east all the way to Europe in the west. Compared with the collections of other universities, the present collection features as many as 2,700 unique pieces, and it is distinguished by the fact that it includes a large number of topographic maps of old territories (Korean Peninsula, Taiwan), Manchuria (now Northeastern China), and Indonesia, as well as numerous aeronautical charts, marine charts, etc. The inclusion of 73 military maps is particularly notable. Military maps consist of regular topographic maps annotated with a wealth of geographic information related to military operations, and Ochanomizu University owns a large number of such maps detailing southern territories that were prepared in 1943 and later.
