Osaka Showa 1920s Unknown

The Daiki Building (大軌ビルデング) in Uehonmachi (上本町), Osaka.

The building was the Osaka railway terminal for the Osaka Electric Railway Co. (Daiki). Founded in 1910 (Meiji 43), the company launched a railway connection between Uehonmachi and Takama-cho in Nara in 1914 (Taisho 3).

The building in this postcard was built by Obayashi and completed in 1926 (Taisho 15). It eventually housed the Daiki Department Store as well as the railway station. The company still survives as Kintetsu Corporation.
