Osaka Museum of History will hold a special exhibition "YABU MEIZAN" from Wednesday, September 3, 2025 to Monday, November 3, 2025 (National Holiday) in the special exhibition room on the 8th floor.
From the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era, Satsuma ware from Kagoshima, which was exported from Japan to other countries, was called "SATSUMA" and caused a huge fad. Riding on this trend, industries producing and overglazing "Satsuma ware"-style ceramics began to appear in pottery areas and areas close to export ports across the country. Meanwhile, for about half a century from the early Meiji period to the early Showa period, overglazing and selling Satsuma ware for export were also carried out in Kita-ku, Osaka, and YABU MEIZAN was the name and brand name of the workshop owner.
The owner of the studio, Yabu Meizan, also known as Masashichi (1853-1934), was born in Osaka in 1853 as the son of the Nanga painter Yabu Chosui (1813-1867). He began working in Osaka in the early Meiji period, and established his studio in 1880. He was an important figure in the modern Osaka arts and crafts world, receiving the Business Achievement Award from Osaka Prefecture in 1920.
This exhibition will explore the true nature of Yabu Meizan, based on the results of 20 years of research since the special exhibition "The Beauty of Meizan Satsuma - Modern Osaka Ceramics Beloved at the World Exposition" held in 2005.

The general tour from the 10th floor to the 6th floor costs 600 yen. The construction history of Osaka Castle began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was greatly influenced by ancient China. The maids&#39; dress, etiquette, and specifications make people feel as if they have traveled back to the ancient Tang Dynasty of China. When you go to a city, you must visit the city&#39;s museum

Good points

- It was fun because Pokemon appeared all over the town. I wanted to see all the panels, so I walked quite a distance for the first time in a while.

- The prize at the end was good. The acrylic charms were especially big and cool. If your favorite Pokemon is among the prizes, you should participate.

- Bad points

- The map is hard to see. I didn&#39;t understand the meaning of the dummy panels at first. I thought that many of the panels were in tricky locations for an event mainly aimed at children.

- It&#39;s difficult to go around without taking a break. It says 1-2 hours, but it&#39;s better to look around for more than 3 hours. (Especially if you go to points that are not related to the rally points) It&#39;s Umeda, so if you miss the timing, it&#39;s hard to find a place to rest, especially on holidays.

The museum inside Osaka Castle offers a good overview of the castle&rsquo;s history with some interesting displays and artifacts. The interior has been modernized with elevators and air conditioning, which makes for a comfortable visit, though it does contrast sharply with the traditional exterior. The view from the top is a highlight.

It was awesome! I had no interest in Universal&#39;s IPs before, but after this visit, I fell in love with them and want to go back again. The Nintendo Park was super fun, and the rides were so high-tech, it was a completely new experience.
