The geographical textbooks of Taiwan, Korea and Japan share the same structure, which stressing the geography of Japan the most and the geography of each area the next.

At the same time, Japan must to prevent to evoke the nationalism of the colonized people. Geographical education had two contradicting tasks; developing the patriotism for Japan on the one hand and controlling the nationalism of the subject people on the other hand.
