The most distinctive feature of a map created after the Taisho period is that it has become increasingly prominent as a means of conveying a specific purpose by putting information on survey results and business plans on a map.
The "Yokohama Fire Map" (1923) on the Disaster Survey Map of the Great Kanto Earthquake is a map created for the purpose of keeping a record of the disaster. This map shows the spread of fires from 289 locations immediately after the Great Kanto Earthquake on September 1, 1923, and was created in the same year based on a survey by the Kanagawa Meteorological Observatory. In this figure, the burned-out area, fire source, flying fire, fire flow line, whirlwind starting point, whirlwind course, and fire time are written in vermilion, and the fire time are written in vermilion, and the fire heading from the fire source to the coast. It is devised so that you can see at a glance. The reproduction is included in the third volume of Yokohama City Council History. In addition, similar figures in this figure include the "Yokohama Fire Spreading Situation Map" ("History of Yokohama", pp.294-295), edited by the Social Welfare Bureau of the Ministry of Home Affairs in 1926.
In addition, there is a map of the area disappearance by the fire in vermilion, which is painted by Yasuo Okazaki and Kenshiro Yasuoka, "Yokohama Daisho 12 Great Earthquake Fire Area" (1923).
