Information Bureau of the Tokyo Imperial University (東京帝國大學罹災者情報局; fl. c. 1923 - 1924), more literally translated as Victims' Information Bureau of Tokyo Imperial University, was a temporary office set up in the wake of the Great Kanto Earthquake and fire that devastated Tokyo and nearby areas in September 1923. The information bureau produced a highly detailed map (帝都大震火災系統地圖 Map of the fire of Tokyo) and index charting the widespread fires and the winds that spread them following the earthquake itself.
