Title: åoesaka Jyå Hakkei 倧阪城å-«æ™¯ [8 Views of Osaka Castle]
Description: 19. ÅOesaka Jyō Hakkei 倧阪城å-«æ™¯ [8 Views of Osaka Castle] [Woodblock Album]. Oblong orihon folio 25 x 35 cm, in stiff silk-covered boards with a printed paper title label. Interspersed with Japanese text is a group of interesting original color woodcuts depicting traditional views of Osaka Castle during the early 17th century from various precincts of the city. One may only say that Osaka has changed in the interim. Appears to be a prewar production. Osaka Castle was restored in the early 1930s and many albums, etc were created to celebrate it. Sadly, it would be utterly destroyed in the WWII bombings. .
