This book introduces the geography, climate, and major rivers and resource distribution of Manchuria, emphasizing how geographical conditions are linked to agriculture and mining. It visually presents cityscapes, railway facilities, mines, and ports through approximately 50 pages of photographs and maps. It also includes a fold-out map of Manchuria. The activities and influence of the South Manchuria Railway Company are extensively covered, with explanations of iron manufacturing, mining (especially coal and iron), processing industries, and the progress of industrialization in urban areas, accompanied by charts and photographs. Furthermore, rather than being a mere tourist guide or travelogue, it has a strong propagandistic character, clearly aimed at appealing to foreign investors and general readers as a "success story" of Manchurian development during the interwar period. The condition shows some scuffing on the cover and writing on the title page, but there are no major tears or loose pages, and one can appreciate numerous valuable photographs printed on high-quality paper.
