The horse saddle cover directly from the Shogun(本田家鞍/拝領葵紋付馬具)

Originally, the Honda family served as horse trainers and veterinarians in Kawagoe during the Edo period. The second head of the family showed such exceptional dedication to the Tokugawa Shogun that he was honored with a gifted saddle cover (kura-ooi) directly from the Shogun.

Later, in 1621, the family relocated to Yaho by the Shogun’s direct order.
