 Salvete Omnes,

continuing from the last post - Kofun Period in Japan



let us travel to old Japan - some 1700-1400 years ago of the Kofun period.







the very beginning of the Japanese civilization and the equestrian elements of their culture - horses, armor, and swords and warrior elite (early samurai)  under the celestial emperors.
