OSAKA

Osaka, with a population estimated at 3,321,200 in 1938 is the second largest city in Japan, coming next after

after Greater

Greater Tokyo, but in commercial and industrial importance it ranks first. The area of the City is given as 71 square miles, divided into fifteen wards, and during recent years it has been rapidly assuming a modern and Western aspect. Broad well-paved streets intersect it in all directions, large modern buildings are springing up throughout the business centre, and motor traffic is increasing rapidly. The city is situated in the Prefecture of the same name at the mouth of the river Yodogawa. It is intersected by other rivers and canals that make excellent waterways for the transport of merchandise.
