IzumiĆtsu
Japan
Also known as: Izumi-Ćtsu
IzumiĆtsu, city, western Ćsaka fu (urban prefecture), west-central Honshu, Japan. It is situated on the eastern shore of Ćsaka Bay, southwest of Ćsaka.
An important port since the 8th century, it became a centre of cotton textile production during the Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603â1867). IzumiĆtsu 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. The city now produces most of Japanâs cotton blankets, for both domestic use and export. Pop. (2010) 77,548; (2015) 75,897.
