Tsutenkaku


Tsutenkaku

Tsutenkaku tower in Osaka. I think it's almost a parody, Eiffel tower and Arc de triomphe de l'Etoile put together. This cheesiness portrays the cheesiness of the entire city of Osaka. It's a city full of character, much more so than many other cities in Japan.

The area is very lively during the day, but it dies down at night. This shot taken through a bicycle frame darkens the picture, making the brightly lit tower stand lonely in the night.
