After the Heian period, the form of kisha was settled and yabusame (the art of shooting arrows on horseback), inuoumono (dog-hunting event, needing archery skills), and kasagake (a horseback archery competition) were established, and they started to be used in Shinto rituals and festival events.
平安時代以降は騎射様式が整理され、流鏑馬・犬追物・笠懸などが成立し、神事・祭礼行事として行われ始める。
