Is there an area of Osaka where there are bookshops specialising in old Japanese books (similar to Jimbocho, Kanda in Tokyo)?

Unfortunately, I suppose that there is no big area of shops of old books that is similar to Jimbocho, in Osaka.
I use to visit Kappa-Yokocho (Hankyu koshonomachi), an alley under Hankyufs railway, in Umeda. There are several small stores of old books.
The alley is located north of Chayamachi exit of Hankyu railway.

I hope someone know better information.
