Book excerpt: This new health atlas of Japan presents a series of maps about the health of the contemporary Japanese population, i.e. detailed maps of health indicators in small areas using cartograms. This is the first comprehensive small-area based health atlas about contemporary Japan using vital statistics from 1995-2014. Each map is supplemented with concise explanations written by leading epidemiologists and health geographers in Japan. The book employs various cutting-edge methods in spatial epidemiology, Bayesian spatial smoothing for the reliable mapping of mortality indices, advanced cartographic transformations using the concept of aerial cartograms, and summary statistics of socioeconomic health inequalities. The atlas highlights geographical aspects of social gradients in health by comparing mortality maps with distribution of deprivation index during the recent long-lasting economic stagnation period of Japan known as the lost decades. This health atlas will be a useful resource for international comparisons between Japan and other advanced countries in terms of health and related socioeconomic disparities between regions.

This new atlas is in English and embodies all the skill and richness of experience gained through sixty years of fine cartography. The contents include general maps, large scale maps and thematic maps. Five general maps (1 : 1,800,000 scale) cover the whole of the Japanese Island and a beautiful over-lay coloring technique is applied to each map. The large scale maps are designed to be the best guides in the most important areas of Japan which include Tōkyō and Ōsaka as the major centers of national activities, Nara and Kyōto, the two ancient capitals that saw the founding and flourishing of classic Japanese culture, and the Mt. Fuji - Mt. Hakone region which has been enlarged for the convenience of tourists. Thematic maps give more detail to facets of Japan, such as its geographical features, climate, geology, soils, agriculture, population, natural resources, industry, transportation, etc. Much consideration was given so as to make the contents easily understood by any reader. The Tōkyō Railway System is specially mapped in perspective from a point over the Tōkyō International airport which should quickly acquaint busy visitors with city's public transportation."--Introduction.
