Description: This print is from the series "Famous Places in Osaka", it portrays an urban landscape with the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower in Osaka prominently rising at the center of the composition, and behind a row of leafless trees. While it depicts a real location, the design evokes the style of watercolor painting rather than a precise, observational sketch of nature.

The artist employs a soft pastel color palette, diverging from realistic hues. The design is constructed using a juxtaposition of solid light and dark colors to create effects of light and shadow.

There are a few traces of glue removal on the backside.
