Hello everyone and thank you Cathy and Ivan for such a wonderful video and for taking time to visit the dojo in Meiji Jingu (Shiseikan) with me. This dojo is quite special as it's the dojo practitioners go to sit their teaching exams (renshi, kyoshi) so the whole area has a quite an overwhemling atmosphere. Being there with Cathy and Ivans smiling faces really made the practice relaxed and enjoyable ❤
This is an awesome collaboration. I have been following the maai perspective since its inception and of course, Jess is a fellow kiwi so I have to follow her! Awesome guys!
The discipline and stamina required for this are hard to comprehend. I'd never heard of Ms. Gerrity. Now she has me reading about things like ikigai and finding my own ibasho, probably with fly fishing:).

Thanks for your support😊
Wonderful video! I appreciated the quiet. No narrator babbling. Very little ambient noise. Great having a look at the dojo and Jess practicing.
So glad you enjoyed the video! It was a wonderful experience for us to be there.
今は訳あってやっていませんが以前弓道をやっていたものです。
これまで様々な武道をやってきましたが個人的に弓道は単なる武道とは言い難いところがあり、柔道や剣道のようにスポーツ競技化されていない所が多分に残っています。
例えれば弓道はまるで「禅」のようで、自然との調和、その場との調和、神との調和、万象との調和を必要としています。
そのひとつひとつの動きには意味があり、そこに射手の精神・思想・哲学・人生・善悪・鍛錬・覚悟・大義・無心・意思・静穏・人間性などが混ざり合い矢飛びとなり射撃姿勢となると思います。
迷い・邪念・欲等があれば、たとえ的を射たとしてもその射は弓道とは言えません。
そういえば「弓と禅」という古い本がありますが、あの本にあることが未だ弓道にはしっかり残っていると思います。
弓道はある意味「和」の極みだと思います。
知れば知るほど難しく奥が深く広大で崇高だと私は思います。
美しい👍
見ている私も心が一点に集中できそうな静寂さですね。
Fascinant
矢を放った瞬間の音がいい音ですね
Well made video! Congrats!
Love kyudo, I want to do it
弓を引く女性の佇まいって、美しいね。流鏑馬もそうだけど、女性が行うとなぜか男より絵になって、映える（笑）
まさしく『全集中』という感じですね。
身体の隅々まで意識を行き渡らせる感覚が
心地よさそうです。
美しい時間！
Very interesting video…i would have liked to see the hits. Those targets looked very small. Holding an arrow while shooting looks hard
Targets are 36cm across and distance is 28m
ただただ美しい。人ではなく造形物。鏡の様な湖面。ここはあの戦争をしている地球なのか…❤🎉
ツボに刺さった！😭
いや
心臓を射抜かれたが
適してるか？
安土に矢取りの人がまだ居るのに、矢を放ってる！
射場が違うからなのか。
でも怖い。
別射場です。ここの道場矢とり方法/ルールにしたがって行動してます。

わかってても結構ドキドキするものはありますね。
広いところで引いたことがないので・・・
