Question What are someYouTube channel recommendations for Meiji period and beyond?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, for Japanese history my absolute favorite channels are Buyyuden Japanese History (from Jomon to Sengoku) and The Shogunate (from Sengoku until the end of Edo Bakufu). What are some similar channels that go into granular details of the Meiji period up until the WW2 and beyond, covering subjects such as the Genro, Ito Hirobumi, Yamagata Aritomo, Mori Yarinori, etc and their contributions to the framing of the constitution, development of a modern militaristic state, as well as modern education. Also, I'd like to learn more about people beyond statesmen who were bringing revolutions in the science and humanities like Ogawa Jihei VII in garden architecture, Ogawa Kazumasa in photography, Fukuzawa Yukichi in public intellect, Okakura Tenshin in philosophy, etc. Books written in English are also welcome but I'd prefer video series. Thanks in advance!

Question Looking for historical relief map

0 Upvotes

I know it's a message in a bottle and that it will probably not be successful, but who knows? I'm looking for a relief map of Japan in good definition (can zoom in) without legend or texts, with the pre Meiji coastline.

I had maybe the perfect [map](https://maps-for-free.com/) but the coastline is from today with reclaims land (Tokyo Bay or Osaka). There is also a slight error with the water layer (lake Biwa or rivers are slightly misaligned).

Again I know I will probably not find what I am looking for, but I should try.

Thanks.
