● Made by Tokusai Kitamura "Shouha Souba Enmon" The ancient Japanese word for "horse" (馬, uma) is "ma," which existed in Japan since ancient times, long before the introduction of kanji. Large horses arrived in Japan around the Kofun period. They were larger than the native Japanese horses, and were called "Ohoma" (大馬), which is believed to have evolved into "Uma." This design features two adorned horses, inspired by a brocade from Central Asia dating back to the 8th-9th centuries. The design, featuring a series of connected beads, can also be seen in textiles from Horyu-ji Temple and the Shosoin Treasure Repository. These two dignified and lovely horses are woven in the Shouha style. Please confirm and agree with the images before purchasing.
