The One Hundred Views of Naniwa reveals what the prosperous and lively city of Osaka, called the "Venice of Japan" by the first Western travelers, was like a century and a half ago. It reveals its temples, religious festivals, shops, pleasure districts and excursion sites on the eve of the modern era. This work reproduces the entirety of a rare series of woodcuts produced around 1863-1864 by three artists of the Utagawa school of Osaka: Kunikazu, Yoshitaki and Yoshiyuki. These prints are the counterpart to Hiroshige's famous One Hundred Views of Famous Sites in Edo , published a few years earlier; they immortalize landscapes in the manner of a tourist guide for travelers by playing on viewpoints, perspective, unusual framing and bold composition. The album from which this book originated comes from the Jacques Doucet collection held at the library of the Institut national d'histoire de l'art in Paris. The reproductions of these high-quality works, never published in France, are accompanied by historical commentaries and preceded by an essay on Ōsaka through prints.
