"The Story of Three Capitals" by Li Qingzhi
Kyoto+Tokyo+Osaka

When I started writing the series of Japanese cities, I had the idea in my mind to finish writing about the three cities of Kyoto, Tokyo, and Osaka. These three cities are the cities I visit every year, and each has its own different character and characteristics.

Kyoto to me represents beauty, tradition, history and memory;
Tokyo is full of avant-garde, technology, design and modernity;
Osaka, on the other hand, displays a strange, alien, magical, diverse and lively atmosphere.

"Monster Osaka" continues the city observation style of urban detectives and goes deep into the monster city of Osaka. Starting from how to enter Osaka Castle, it leads readers to roam in this strange city, just like a mouse shuttles through holes in cheese. In addition to curiosity and admiration, In addition, we also try to explain the meaning and reasons behind all strange phenomena.
 
Li Qingzhi believes that "Monster Osaka" is the liveliest and most interesting book, highlighting that each city does have a different character. Knowing a city is like knowing a person. You should not just look at the appearance (tourism), but also understand her growth background (historical and social research). This book is about Li Qingzhi walking through the streets, savoring life, and appreciating the architecture, and wrote about Osaka that most people have never known.

This book is divided into eight chapters, from the first chapter "How to Enter the City", "Overlooking Osaka Castle", "The Heart of Osaka Castle", "The Mysterious Future of Osaka Castle"... to the last chapter "How to Escape Osaka Castle", More clues of reasoning are in the city, almost like a fascinating and interesting Osaka mystery novel!
