Izumi-Ōtsu

Japan
      city, Ōsaka fu (urban prefecture), Honshu, Japan. It is situated facing Ōsaka Bay. An important port since the 8th century, it became a centre of cotton textile production during the Tokugawa period (1603–1867). Izumi-Ōtsu lost much of its function as a port town after the Meiji Restoration (1868). Its industry has since shifted to the production of woolen and cotton blankets.
