Advertising poster of the South Manchuria Railway Company. The combination of painted image, map, and text encourages viewers to explore the cultural treasures of the newly colonized lands of Japan. The Tibetan Buddhist pagoda featured prominently in the central panel was modeled after the Hōten West Pagoda in Manchuria. The artist, Mayama Kōji, was the company’s in-house painter-designer; his signature can be found on the bottom left corner of the painted section. The map below shows the routes of the railway through Korea and Manchuria and also a "world without borders" available for the enjoyment of the Japanese public.​
