Source Description

The story of Ishikawa Heisuke, who is depicted at Kameyama, is not known. Kameyama is one of the fifty-three stations along the Tokaido highway between Kyoto and Edo (Old Tokyo). After the great popular success of Hiroshige's views of the fifty-three stopping places, many print-makers turned out prints that were variations on the theme.
