Abstract
The construction of Osaka Port was one of the big projects in the frame of modernization of Japan in the Meiji era. Before that time, the former Osaka Port was located at the riverside of Aji River, the main stream of several branches entering the mouth of Yodo River. In this situation, the function of the port had been interfered by the sediment of Yodo River. Therefore the improvement plan of Osaka Port was strongly related with Yodo River and eventually aimed to change the situation with Yodo River. Besides it was noteworthy that the western civil engineers, R. H. Brunton from Scotland, C. J. Van Doom, J. de Rijke and others from the Netherlands, investigated and planned the project of Osaka Port improvement. Finally, based on de Rijke's plan, the new Osaka Port was separated from Yodo River and constructed as seaport.
