Subsequently, presumably from the tenth century on, the ancient tenma system went out of use, however, in the Middle Ages, lords of manors and jito (agents in charge of manors of their lords) began to post tenma (post horses) that shuttled between their residences and own domains.
その後、おそらく10世紀以降に古代伝馬制は廃れたが、中世に至り荘園領主や地頭らが居住地と自領を結ぶ伝馬を置きはじめた。
