Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library

Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library (Osaka) —— Majestic Like a Temple 🏛️ 🌊🎢 Established in 1904 Designers: Togo Noguchi, Takeo Hidaka 🌸🍃 Brick and stone structure, with 3 floors above ground and 1 floor underground Opening hours: 9:00-20:00 (Free to visit, the second floor is an exhibition hall, and photography is prohibited in the library section) 🌊🎢 A majestic library resembling a temple; the additions on either side also maintain a unified style. This is one of the Osaka buildings that has been explicitly featured in Detective Conan. 🕵️‍♂️ 🌸🍃 The triangular structure above the central part of the library is called a pediment, an ancient Greek decoration, supported by four columns of the same style. Behind it is the arch, widely used in ancient Rome. 🌊🎢 The windows on either side exude a Renaissance vibe. 🌸🍃 The grandeur of the building is achieved by widening the distance between the two central columns, which, combined with the arch behind, cleverly integrates all the elements together. #Osaka 📚🌟
