During the Edo period, Kai was relatively close to Edo, so always the latest culture was imported. This area features various culture developed by Samurais and ordinary people; such as documents written by "Kofu-kinban-shi" castle guards and "Makue" banner arts for Kofu Dosojin Festival drawn by Hiroshige Utagawa, one of the famous artists in the Edo Period.
