By providing broader access, we hope to reach more people interested in our field, increase recognition for the Japan Cartographers Association, and boost the impact of the work of our members.

The journal is a valuable resource for anyone who works with maps. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including map design, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and historical cartography. It also features articles on the latest research and developments in the field. The journal is a great way to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and technologies in cartography.
