Description

This print records the castle town of Okazaki in Aichi Prefecture and is associated with Takeda Shintaro (1886–1957), likely a patron, publisher, or collaborator who commissioned or collected the work. Okazaki was the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu and a significant historical site in the Tokai region. Kasamatsu's documentation of the castle town reflects his broader practice of recording historical Japanese cities, and the inscription of a patron's name suggests this may have been a commemorative or gift edition.
