So often people seem to ignore the development of industrialisation outside of Europe and America. It’s really interesting to see western influence get developed by other countries, and also how they did so much without influence at all. There is such complexity and nuance that people often ignore, but you are getting it right every time it seems!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Ronald! Your feedback encourages me enormously. As always, I worried that I went way too deep into the topic and added too many images… So that I may better cater to the interests of my readers, may I ask why you found this post so interesting?
I’m still kind of trying to zero in on that myself! 😄 I am a history buff and am learning more about Japan’s history other than WWII stuff. How Japan developed as a nation and the histories of the cities is interesting to me, and your photos and accompanying history has really piqued my interest. I know nothing about Osaka really, so this post has helped me along in learning and understanding.
Thank you for the feedback, Ronald. I aim to write articles which are both interesting to people who know little about Japan, and those who know the country well. Japanese people often tell me they learn new things from my articles. Nonetheless, I always worry that I dive too deep…

Those are very kind words. Thank you very much.
I have not been following you for long, but this is the most fascinating post of yours that I have read! Thank you so much.

I'm especially interested in .... (of course) the cotton spinning and other cotton manufacturing that developed in Osaka.
Great maps! Looking forward to seeing some of this!
I have a few photographs of the interior of spinning mills that I plan to introduce in an article about Osaka's industrialization.
