| When the samurai gained power during a period from the end of the ancient times to the medieval period, a culture peculiar to samurai such as yabusame (horseback archery) and inuoumono (dog-hunting event, a skill of archery) was born, and war chronicles (The Tale of the Heike, etc.) under the theme of battle were also created. |
古代末から中世に武士が台頭してくると、流鏑馬、犬追物など武士特有の文化が生まれ、合戦をテーマにした軍記物語（平家物語など）も生まれた。 |
