Kyoto Kyudo From The Eyes Of A Tourist Gone Off The Beaten Path

- Went to Kyoto Budokan to see kyudo. Pleasantly surprised to see that it was not on anyone's tourist plan, and got to see the art up close and personal without anyone else around. The people practicing were very gracious and, cannot be overstated, graceful.
The amount of comments that don't understand that this is ceremonial archery, not combat archery concerns me. Like no duh, Japanese warriors didn't shoot 1 arrow every 20 seconds, use your brain and try to understand culture.
@Russ Olson LOL, I get it.
@Russ Olson lmfao absolutely epic comment.
Kyudo is so peaceful, its teaching and how disciplined you are to go through evry steps before firing a bow. It really cures anxiety and gives you a peace of mind
Nicee
Full agree Eido! Thats a masterpiece of sport and meditation. I love the Japanese Culture
@@michaelschmidt5702 same
It looks like high grade military indoctrination to me, what’s with the unnatural robotic movements, the girls looking like dolls without soul. What are they trying to portray exactly?
To me, more than peaceful it looks bizarre and uncanny. Like, it’s not the natural flow of nature, things do not flow like that. It’s like trying to reduce the human essence, which is full of emotion and spirit, into a bland empty thing void of soul and spirit, an object that has nothing inside.
I want to hug that girl, shake her shoulders and tell her “Hey! Wake up! You’re human, not an object, you don’t have to do none of that nonsense. Smile! Be happy, stop being a robot...
**whispers** “nice.”
Si la cagó con ese nice y le quitó la magia al video.
I hear Golf clap in my head after the *whisper* “nice”
Nice
@@casualuploader2904 I hear a wheel of cheese
Nice
The guy that films works as a police officer in South Park when he's not on holiday. "naisss"
I thought the exact same thing
I was secretly hoping there would be some changing of the guard idiot spectator type of fallout lol
Hahaha, my apologies! I didn't think that would get caught on video.
@@rafaelinigodelacruz3528 haha i would have done the same, it is just very nice!
The Japanese have beautiful rituals, whether it be making tea or shooting arrows from bows.
You wouldn't see that now anymore
@@SD_91
Why?
@@tmme1234 Japanese are busy working, no interest in sex, Globalisation, no interest in following traditions due to Westernization multiculturalism. .. ...
@@SD_91
Obviously you have not been to Japan or must be smoking something wrong.
@@tmme1234 😂😂. But it's true.. Just don't cry 😂😂
Everything is an art in Japan.
*discipline
@@johngallacher Was about to say this lol
@@johngallacher the art of rape :trollface:
@@johngallacher awww poor ignorant boy! Which country in the world doesn't have rape cases including yours? Do I sense envy in your comment? Mmmmmm yeah I think that is....
@@mauriciolopez9768 But in Japan they have been too obsessed with schoolgirls!
Him: *whispers* "you're also taking a video?"
Me: *whispers* yeah
naaais.
Good lord. I think I could watch Kyoto Kyudo all day.
I'm obsessed with the Bow and Arrow,so this is great privelage and honor
Graceful.
You can also go to any dojo of judo, kendo, aikido, iai-do, ...
They always welcome new comers.
absolute perfect! I love the japanese culture, art and sports! Thats a masterpiece of real traditional sport. I have start training with Kendo.Thanks for posting!
Very cool, my grandfather taught Kendo in Japan in the early 1900's - yes I'm old :)
THANK YOU!! GREATLY APPRECIATED! BLESSINGS!
Perfection and patience at its best
Kyudo is so magnificent and elegant. :-) Spellbinding.
Thank you for your comment :) When the pandemic is done, my goal is to visit them once again.
@@rafaelinigodelacruz3528 Wonderful. I am going to see if anyone practises kyudo here in Sydney. I hope you can 'shoot' more of them. :-)
@@rafaelinigodelacruz3528 8zzzzZz
I agree!
的をいるのも所作の一つ。全ての動作が弓道。とても静的で美しい。日本の武道は奥が深い！
I wanna learn kyudo now
the first archer is well disciplined in Kyudo. She is symbolic of Truth, Goodness, & Beauty in her every move.
It is incredible how ritualistic the entire process is.
thank you so much for uploading
Beautiful
Id like to see 1000 of those arrows fly in the sky
Right into China
Think of Azincourt during the 100- Year War, thousand of arrows that destroyed the best cavalry and killed the French knights.
I suppose it depends on which end of the arrow swarm you are... the sharp end or the fluffy end...
Show archery don't translate into a real battle they would be killed in ten seconds in a real battle
@@catsbyondrepair Is how they launch the arrow the reason it makes the sound? Or the bow? It could be a good scare tactic as a first shot.
The art of Japanese archery.
I love japan
Alternative title - American showing just how Impossible it is for an American to just shush and watch something
Who do you think put the comment section on TH-cam 🤔 you’re welcome.
@@Surannhealz Not sure what your point is but cool story lol
How do you know he's American?
2nd alternative title. Japanese boasting inefficient-outdated weaponry.
Una preciosidad de movimientos, de concentración, de atuendos y, por supuesto, de arcos y flechas. Algún día tendré un arco japonés, un kyudo
I can't imagine hunting with that. Can you imagine what a few modern deer hunters would do to a group of ... those bow men/women/whatever ?
The shot must be accurate af after putting so much effort preparing.
No, on average only 25% hit the target. This isn't archery. Someone who has done this and is at the apex in their community hit between 50-75% of each arrow. This is more about the spirituality and movement of drawing the bow more so than shots on target.
They said, this is art, not about the accuraccy, but i've seen some videos of kyudo which they show off or contesting their accuracy.
Maybe japan have different kind of tournament or contest for kyudo/kyujutsu which they score the art or the accuracy, or both.
But i heard that kyudo is mean for art, and kyujutsu is mean for war, so i think the japanese archery accuracy contest is for kyujutsu. This is just my conclusion.
@@marselherdian1674 Kyudo from what I understand is both art and a form of meditation.
@@Jin_Kai well that seems silly because accuracy and precision are beautiful things
@@Dogedows It's not about the accuracy in this. If you want that go watch a competition. Its rather hard to understand the beauty of this if you don't understand the culture behind it.
I know this isn't same thing as archery.. but gosh, I'd get so impatient having to go through all those motions BEFORE I can take a shot ^^;
There are approximately 171,476 words In the english lexicon. And in each of those words holds the capacity to create something beautiful, things that can take the mind to places unreachable otherwise, things that can create memories that will be cherished for years, things that are the foundation to everything weve known for hundreds if years but no. No no no, you had to say that, you had to take this beautiful system we have created and form it in to a horrid amalgamation of dread and vile. The audacity of you to not only think of this but to spend time and effort to share it with us is appalling, and what's more is that you think nothing of it, you just go about your day as if you didnt just spit in the face of language and all that is good. I rarely ever think of death but this is the closest I've come to craving the sweet release of it. So thank you, for ruining my day and quite possibly my life.
@@JustCoNa are you quite alright there? What are you rambling about?
@@JustCoNa ...we all have opinions in life and I get some people get upset at others for their opinions but they were just stating how impatient they get...I'm sorry you've had a bad day but come on...uhm
The tsurune for me ✨
Lindas essas Japonesas.. ⛩☺💗
Yknow, when I first watched Princess Mononoke I couldn't understand how Ashitaka was able to literally decapitate a fully-armored samurai with a single arrow... And now I've been watching japanese archery for about half an hour and... yea... makes more sense.
Same today with the I watched called Otaku elf
The TSURUNE was just ausome 😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤
Very interesting. Thank you.
Shinji: hey shirou I have something to do, can you clean this room for me?
Ok.....i must be seeing things....
After being fired...the string is on the left side of the bow hand.
How did they move it to the right side without moving the bow.....
It's called yugaeri. When you shot, the momentum together with the tenouchi makes the bow turn in your hand.
Where the whistle sound
😭😭😭😭 lol only reason I looked deeper into this stuff
Fabulous filmed this "Nice"
I came to know about this from anime "Tsurune" so I came to watch
Wish in the history there was a battle between Mongolia vs Japan during the Chingis Khan era. Just curious about the battle result, which bow was better.
Aint there a v game about it?
I'm biased. But I believe if true Mongols had invaded Japan they would have won. There horse and archery skill were second to none. If they'd brought Chinese gunpowder and proto grenades/ rockets it would have been a set victory. Unless ofcourse.....a storm would yknow come and ruin everything
The English Longbow men would still stick 2 fingers up to them.
@@guynumber3100 mongols invaded japan twice, and used gunpowder, including grenades. They did very well in the first invasion, before loosing more than half of their fleet in a typhon, and were blocked in a stalemate during the second one, where... they AGAIN lost most of their fleet in a typhoon. The forces left in japan got quickly slaughtered
@@zanetusken there is no strategy game like e.g Rome total war that includes Mongols vs Samurai. Only game is Ghost of Tsushima.
น่ารักจังเลยคนแรก ใช้นิ้วก้อยเก็บอีกศรไว้เพื่อให้คันธนูบิดเข้าในเวลาคลายมือที่จับแรงส่งจะสมดุล ผมไม่สนใจความรุนแรงครับ คนยิงสวยคนก็เลยมาแสดงความคิด จาก อยากเอา
So, are we all here beacuse of that vid TH-cam randomly recommended?
The sound of an arrow gets everyone.
What range are they shooting at. How many meters ?
Range as a baseball court
28 meters
The pageantry is beautiful.
I would love to learn the art behind the bow and arrow
Mesmerising
And the deer thought....what are they doing...
Why they keep an arrow on the right hand during the shoot??
Wielding such bow requires not only experience but muscles made from steel
Espero que con toda esta concentración le den al centro
No es realmente el objetivo, el kyudo es mas una especie de meditación, ejercicio y disciplina de los movimientos, concentración y respiración, que una competencia de quien le da más al blanco. Las artes marciales se clasifican como internas o externas, las artes marciales internas son mas de desarollo personal o espiritual, autocontrol, que de ganar competencias o ser mas fuerte. El tai chi es otra arte marcial interna, no se practica para pelear, el iaido japones también es muy similar al kyudo en cuanto a formas y objetivos, a diferencia del kendo, karate, judo, que si se compiten.
the deers and other animals will be having tea time by the time they release the arrow in real life.
The Japanese Yumi is not used for hunting. Hunting bows in Japan are smaller and symmetrical and utilize different form
@@then00brathalos Simply not true, samurai used the yumi in war.. But failed to beat koreans in confined spaces due to the superiority of the gakgung composite bow. Which could shoot 150+ meters by the way
ｎｉｃｅ
By the time a shot is made, the enemy already fled to a pub for a 🍺
Samurai did that riding on a horse, sheeeesh.
Damn how eloquent they are.
We just shoot with an AR.
We can possibly reach that level of eloquence
Nice..
best slow motion game
SUGOI
Warum gab es sowas nicht in meiner Schulzeit ,in Japan können die gefühlt alles an Sportarten machen und wir hatten 1 kleine Band und en Theater Club und das war's 😆
Junge bei uns gab nicht genug freiwillige um ein fußball team zu gründen...
@@diosdehuecomundo alles faule Säck 😂
deer: yo gonna shoot me or what? ..........nevermind, am leavin bye
Why so slow? Is there a purpose to it?
The guy saying nice sounded hot!!
*n i c e*
The first girl looks like she's about to cry
They all missed and the middle girl stood on her frock.
noice
LOL after several comments on the same subject, I finally understood why! Cheers! :)
Does the arrow hit the target??
Two women in the front take their time and are minutes setting up, camera moves off the lad in the back for two seconds and comes back to him like "LETS FUCKING DO THIS"
Came here after watching tsurune 😂
Kayong klemad klemed nemen manahe
So formal 😳
Hekiryu?
Hi, buddy! Um, is kyudo and hekiryu the same? also not sure hehe
@@rafaelinigodelacruz3528 hekiryu is some style in kyudo. they pull half before rise the bow.
What does your title mean.
Can't wait for the moment.
Too many arts waste time.
#modern man
Looks exactly like a scene from the anime arjuna. Great anime by the way.
Ok how many hit the bull ?
О!Верхняя часть лука короче нижней?
The girl in the front has more discipline
That reminds me of Kyodo Anime 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tsurune?
@@ATF-qe6jj yeah 😭
Weeb.

🔶Very nice 😊👌
What pound is that?
... naihsss...
LOL Apologies, didn't even think that could be heard when I took the vid.
@@rafaelinigodelacruz3528 You don't have to appologies. It's just funny :)
Did it hit the target?
For some reason there are not many videos where they'd show the target or announce results. It looks like they are focusing on a process. This is a big difference between Western and Eastern cultures.
@@figase6231 that's really not the case, west is actually Quite intrested in the process and art of their form, form matter but not as the result. We think like that because most of the videos are based on their form and process so. kyudo is more of a spiritual practice or something, it focuses mainly on the art of perfecting archery, as well as treating it as a competitive sport, scores indeed matter in competitive sport afterall. Forgive me if I am wrong on this one but only japanese do kyudo. There might be international instances of competitive kyudo outside of Japan, but mainly happens in Japan only.
Hi! Thank you for your comment! This was shot back in 2015, but I can remember it like yesterday. It was a mixed bag of hits and misses really. Was really happy to be that close though and see what to me seemed like a ritual :)
Everything is nice but the Bow string makes a hell of a noise 😂
Whisper “ too slow rabbit gone”
It was reported in 1830 by artist George Catlin during his travels in the American West, an Indian on horseback could loose fifteen to twenty arrows in a minute. MURICA!
nice
The guy who keeps saying, "Nice" needs a good kicking!!
Why do they take sooooo long omfg
All that won't do shit when your being shot at by another bow n arrow lol
Nhaaaiicee
Why it gotta be so formal
Why they moving like robots 🤖👘
They're doing it for art & relaxation. It doesn't even matter if they hit their target
Almost meditative
เกาธันญี่ปุ่น
You shoulda went: "noice"
Hunter Japanese Bows
Is this practical in war
Thank you for your comment :) I'd say it was, especially in making sure the foundation is correct. But if you meant the method of pulling back on the bow vis~a~vis a European longbow, apologies, I don't think I'm qualified to answer that.
Extremely if your enemy is static and extremely quiet. Legend has it on that enemys would be mesmerized with the grace and elegance of the shooter and quietly watch their death.
This is not how they're used in combat, it's just practice like a regular Archery thing but with a bow larger than you
The bow were used in war, but the archers obviously didn't do all these slow and precise moves before firing.
It’s simply a ritual these young girls are taught. It teaches patience and attention to detail. I find it graceful and beautiful myself.
nice, it was a miss
Imagine shooting at such rate on the battlefield 🤭
