Asahi Graph started on 25 January 1923 as a daily feature from Asahi Shinbunsha ; this ran until 1 September 1923 when it was stopped by the major earthquake in Tokyo. It was back as a weekly from 14 November. In 1926 it was joined by Asahi Graphic which the Osaka branch of Asahi Shinbunsha had been publishing since 2 January 1921.
