As early as 1583, the generation of the fierce Toyotomi Hideyoshi had mobilized up to 100,000 migrant workers, large-scale construction, spent three years to build a military fortress with dangerous terrain, with boulders piled up tall and strong Osaka city walls, some places as high as more than ten meters, becoming the highest of all the ancient walls in Japan. Later, large-scale reclamation began with the development of New fields in the 17th century. A quarter of Osaka's urban area is reclaimed from the sea. The islands off the coast of Osaka, such as Monasu, Maizhou, and Sakishu, are also man-made islands created from land reclamation.
