Japanese capital punishment picked up around the Kamakura Period (1192-1333) and didn't drop off until the end of the Tokugawa Period (1600-1867). Drawing and quartering was indeed one of many methods of capital punishment (though they did it with oxen or carts instead of horses), along with crucifixion (regular and upside-down), spearing, sawing, burning, burning while bound to wood, boiling, hanging, decapitating, and so on.
