About Soma Nomaoi

About 400 mounted warriors in armor, swords at their waists and flags on their backs, gallop across the fields in a powerful and heroic display that is reminiscent of a period picture scroll. According to legend, the Soma Nomaoi began over 1,000 years ago when Taira no Masakado, the ancestor of the Soma clan, released wild horses in Kogane-ga-hara, Shimousa Province (present-day northwestern Chiba Prefecture) and used them in military training, using them to represent enemy soldiers. He then captured the horses and dedicated them to the local deity, Myoken, as sacred horses.
