Please keep silent when you play the audio guide in the museum.
The Black Horse of Kai. The Great Plain at the Foot of the Mountains Bred Fine Horses.
Ancient Kai was famous for breeding fine horse, the Black Horse of Kai. Later, in the Heian Period, this area was authorized as the venue of the imperial horse farm. At that time, only 4 provinces were selected as the venue of it, and every year the horses were offered to the emperor.
This area shows you the deep connection between humans and horses since a long time ago, and how the great nature turned into the vast farm and produced a number of fine horses.
