A print from the "Scenes of Famous Places along the Tokaido" series depicting Okazaki station in Aichi Prefecture, one of the most prosperous castle towns along the road, famous for its castle and its association with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was born there in 1543. The birthplace of the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate carried considerable historical weight even in the Meiji era when the shogunate itself had been abolished, and Kyosai's rendering of the famous-place would honor both topographic accuracy and historical resonance.
