The station of Hodogaya in Kanagawa Prefecture appears here through an anachronistic but evocative lens: a 1942 model D51 steam locomotive — the workhorse of Japanese National Railways, known affectionately as "Degoichi" — at this point on the old highway where the Tokaido railway intersects with the old road. The print meditates on two transportation histories occupying the same geographic corridor, the steam engine's modernity contrasting with the station's Edo-era associations.
