Osaka, Osaka / 大阪市中央公会堂

Osaka City Central Public Hall

A symbol of Nakanoshima and of Osaka, built with a donation of 1 million yen from the stockbroker Iwamoto Einosuke, who refused to take any of it back saying that asking for a gift to be returned would shame an Osaka merchant. He died before it was finished, and the hall was completed in November 1918, two years after his death. Now an Important Cultural Property, it is still used by citizens for culture and the arts.
