Hydrographic/topographic map entitled "Amakusa Shoto and Yatsushiro Kai" (more completely: "Japan [/] Kyushu-West Coast [/] Amakusa Shoto and Yatsushiro Kai [/] Surveys of the Hydrographic Department of Japan, 1902 to 1925 [/] with additions from other sources to 1930"). It was published by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center of Washington, D.C. This is the 13th edition, dated August 11, 1984, and numbered 97383. As the title indicates, this map shows part of the Japanese island of Kyushu, as well as bodies of water and islands nearby. According to a glossary of equivalent English and Japanese terms printed near the title, "Kai" means "sea" and "Shoto" refers to an archipelago. The largest islands featured on the map are Naga Sima, Amakusa-Simo Sima, and Amakusa-Kami Sima. The name "Kagosima" appears in the lower right quadrant of the map--probably referring to the city of Kagoshima on Kyushu.
