Abstract. The article analyses the description of European Russia and Siberia in the geographical work "Yochi Shiryaku" ("A Survey of the World", 1871-1880) by the Japanese scientist-westerner of the first half of the XIX century Uchida Masao (1839-1876). The geographical work "Yochi Shiryaku" is considered the first spacious encyclopaedia of the world geography published in Meiji period (1868-1912). In 1855, diplomatic relations with the Russian Empire were established, and Japan, located in the immediate vicinity of the Russian border, apparently showed a special interest in the neighbouring country. The author aims to analyse the representation of the Empire’s image in the geographical work "Yochi Shiryaku".
