 Jinbei
Kagaya created new rice fields here in 1745. More and more land was reclaimed
as the project spread further and further north. These privately funded
works came to an end with the collapse of the Shogunate, but at their
height, they covered approximately one third of modern day Osaka City.
The market was constructed in 1754. Part of the Enshu Kobori style miniature
hill-groves-and-ponds garden and the teahouse style building remain; named
"Yuen," it is now one of Osaka's most famous gardens.
The market was designated as a cultural and historical asset of Osaka
on December 11, 2001. |
