Article about painter depicting city in Japan (6)
I believe the answer is:
nagoya
'depicting city in japan' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'article about painter' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'painter' becomes 'goya' (I've seen this before).
'an' reversed gives 'na'.
'na'+'goya'='NAGOYA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nagoya that I've seen before include "City in central Japan" , "central Japanese city" , "Eastern city" , "Asian city" .)
