Kyudo is meditation using bow and arrows. It's not a war art. If you want to learn Japanese archery (for target/war), you have to look up something called "Kyūjutsu"
before my health went bad i was into archery since a early age.always loved my longbow perfect hunting weapon,she is right archery helps you to stay calm, focus,be one with your self.always found japan style bow interesting,because limbs are so far off center,unlike typical D long bow,where the arrow shelf is about 3/4" above center,id love to find a documentary explaining how it develop(no shortage on the sword)fascinated with samurai/old japan history,and there culture too so polite respectful

very interesting tradition, I can imagine that this is kinda relaxing!
so beautiful art form..
Superbly shot and edited piece. I hope you produce more.
Fascinating! Thank you.
Wow, that is pretty cool, it's nice to see that people still practice yabusame along with kyudo.
38 years old?!? Amazing! She looks much younger.
Not a day past 25 if I was told to guess her age. Divine beauty truly.
Don't know why but starting at 0:45 I couldn't stop blinking
She's fired an arrow straight into my heart.
"We should practise at least 30 years..."
Great video
The bow is asymetrical so it can be used from horseback.
It's believe its actually that way because there is more vibration when shooting from the center.
what are the draw weights of those bows?. as a recurve 40lb compound 60lb archer that draw method they use is just incredible and looks damn hard.
she is 38? wow she looks early 30s late 20s
Her eyes blinks so much... to much thinking going on :)
I know this is an old video but where can you get a bow like the ones in the video
you can find at tozandoshop online
Very beautiful woman!
yah

Japanese...
Draw weight ? 12 lbs lol ?:D
Aqull I think it's usually around 30 lbs not sure though
wut could possible mean anything riding a wooden horse
