Kamei Takejiro was a pioneering artist who in the early Meiji Era (1868–1912) quickly mastered the techniques of Western-style painting and also made lithographs. In 1878, he embarked on a field trip to capture in paintings the last remnants of Edo Period scenery in and around the stations on the Tokaido road. He returned the following January having completed 53 oil paintings. After his death, a series of lithographs was published based on the paintings.
Near Hodogaya Station, there was a religious group that worshipped Mount Yudono, a mountain in present-day Yamagata Prefecture. One member of the group, Kiyomiya Yoichi, had visited the Dewa Sanzan (three well-known sacred mountains that include Mount Yudono), and he had enshrined Daigongen, a Shinto deity connected with the area, on his property. The shrine (which is now known as Togawa Shrine) is visible behind the torii gate beyond the small bridge over the Imai River. The reference to “Yudonosan” (Mount Yudono) in the work’s title relates to the shrine’s origins.
