A big canal in the shape of "S" divides the city into two large sections, and, on the riverside, former nobles' houses are standing in an array, and that place is a center of the city and used to be a first class living area.
Even in Japan, at one time in the past, there was a water capital Osaka.
Along with the economic development, everything in Osaka became rich ,on the other hand, the scene of water city was concealed by culverts.
And yet, for the first time this year, a big event to revive Osaka to be a city living with water was carried out on the large scale.
The richness that the living with water produces can easily be imaged by anybody.
For now, we no longer can set up a network of waterways all over Osaka but we at least want the city to succeed in its restoration at world's high level.
In order to promote the plan, it depends on how those excellent architects take part in that project.
