Event Venue
Osaka, Japan
Osaka is located on
the main island of Honshu, roughly in the center of Japan. Osaka City, which
was incorporated in 1889, has a population of 2.5 million and an area of 221
square kilometers. Osaka Prefecture, which includes Osaka City (its capital)
and 42 other municipalities, has a population of 8.7 million and a total land
mass of about 1,905 square kilometers. Although Osaka is Japan's second
smallest prefecture by size, its population represents 7% of the entire nation,
making it the second most populous prefecture after Tokyo. Furthermore, 10% of
all non-Japanese residents live in Osaka.
Historical Overview:
1400 Years of
Tradition
Since ancient times,
Osaka has been a gathering place. Located at the confluence of a vast web of
busy river and sea routes, it naturally grew into a flourishing economic center
and became the gateway to Japan for travelers and traders from all over
Asia.Â
Osaka's Origins Go
Back to the 5th Century
In the 5th century,
Osaka began to flourish as the political and economic center of Japan. Naniwazu
Port, the predecessor to the modern port of Osaka, became a gateway into
ancient Japan for visitors from Korea, China and the Asian continent. These
visitors brought with them knowledge and artifacts of advanced culture, and new
technologies in ceramics, forging, construction, and engineering. They also
brought with them a new religion, Buddhism, which very quickly began to spread
to the rest of the country.
As Buddhism spread,
Prince Shotoku constructed Shitennoji Temple in Osaka in 593 A.D., and the city
became a base for international exchange with the Asian continent. In 645 A.D.,
the Emperor Kotoku moved the capital from Asuka (Nara) to Osaka. He built the
Naniwanomiya Palace, which is considered to be the oldest palace in Japan. Even
though the national government later moved to Nagaoka-kyo (Kyoto), then
Heijo-kyo (the city of Nara), then Heian-kyo (Kyoto), then Kamakura, and
finally to Edo (Tokyo), Osaka has continued to serve as a sub-capital, and to
play a crucial role as a major gateway for foreign culture and trade.Â
Hideyoshi's Castle
Town
In 794, the capital of
Japan was moved to Heian-kyo (Kyoto). The period that followed, called the
Heian Period, saw the construction of numerous fine temples around the Kyoto and
Osaka areas, while arts, crafts and women's literature (such as A Tale of
Genji) flourished. But by the late 1100s, as the nation entered the Kamakura
Period, powerful warlords gained hegemony over the land, and the capital was
moved to Kamakura. Thus began more than two centuries of civil war.
During the 14th
century, Osaka was largely devastated by a series of wars. Then in 1496,
Rennyo, a high-ranking priest, began construction of Ishiyama Gobo, a temple
and monk's quarters on Osaka's Uemachi Daichi heights. This temple later came
to be called Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and the area around it as Osaka.
Thereafter, Ishiyama Hongan-ji functioned as an impregnable fort to defend
against attack by warlords.
During the late
Muromachi Period (1336-1573), Nobunaga Oda, a powerful warlord, took a liking
to Uemachi Daichi in Osaka, because it was difficult to attack and commanded a
fine view of the surrounding region. It was believed that to control this
territory, which was blessed with water from the Yamatogawa and Yodogawa rivers
and had a long history of international exchange, was to control the rest of
Japan and the world.
A decade-long conflict
ensued, and much of the temple was destroyed. After that the temple was
transferred to the control of Nobunaga Oda. His successor, Hideyoshi Toyotomi,
another famous warlord, unified Japan from his base in Osaka and built Osaka
Castle in 1583 during the Azuchi and Momoyama Periods (1574-1600). Rivers were
excavated to expand Osaka's capabilities as a base for marine transportation.
However, in battles that raged between the winter of 1614 and the summer of
1615 the castle town of Osaka was burnt to the ground.
