noun
horse pasture; pony grazing ground
Archaic term for a pasture where horses, especially ponies, were grazed. Not used in modern Japanese outside historical contexts.
古文書には、駒場で馬を放牧した記録が残っている。
Ancient documents record that horses were grazed in the 駒場.
Compound of 駒 (こま, 'pony' or 'small horse') and 場 (ば, 'place' or 'ground'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term straightforwardly describes a place for horses.
