Twelve Views of Naniwa (Osaka) (Naniwa jūnikei なにわ十二景)
Twelve Views of Naniwa is a Japanese set of ink-and-colour landscape prints by Nishiyama Ken'ichirō (1834-1897), depicting Naniwa, the old name for Osaka. The pictures are soft, pale wash drawings of pines, rooftops, bridges and boats, with loose brushwork and wide empty paper that a designer could borrow for quiet, atmospheric layouts.
