The station of Kameyama appears here through the architectural remains of a samurai mansion — a walled compound whose scale and construction methods mark it as belonging to the warrior class. Sekino's interest in the material evidence of Edo-era social structures gives this Tokaido print a documentary dimension: the mansions of the samurai retainers who staffed the castle's garrison were as much part of the post-town's character as its inns and teahouses.
