For those who are wondering what is going on here. It’s a Kyudo/archery competition held in Kyoto in the middle of January every year. This video only shows the young girls’ competition who has turned/will be 20 this year or “new adults”, but other people of different categories are also competing in the same day. Since this tournament is held around the coming-of-age day for new adults, they wear traditional kimono and hakama to celebrate. These girls are mostly Kyudo club members of colleges around Kansai area.
They are so beautiful and I just wish you showed more of the archery. I love the stepping forward in a line in those lovely Kimonos and then drawing of the bows.
Wonderful sharing my dearest Angel many many*******for you ☺ thumbs up... I like it so much Congratulation! Wish you a beautiful weekend Lovely greetings ☺hugs and kissssssssss Terka

愛らしい娘をもうけて、この場に送り届けられた親御さんは、ドキドキと嬉しさと、そしてさぞや誇らしいだろうね。
私は日本の発展した姿も良いが、伝統を維持する姿がとても良いです。
懐かしい。
１０ウン年前に、参加しました。
成人式は、一生に一度きりの事。家族も観に来てくれて、とても良い経験になりました。成人式って、親に「こんなに大きくなりました」って見てもらう場でもあるのかなぁと。
女性に限らず、男性の弓を引く姿はとても凛々しくて、かっこいいです。
佐藤錦 これって成人式だったんですか??

伝統文化に最も遠い位置にいると思われる若い女性たちが伝統的な晴れ着を着て伝統的な武芸を見せてくれる姿には感動を覚えるね。素晴らしい。
Their kimono+hakama attire makes me see in real life the beauty that is represented in chihayafuru when they wear their kimonos

弓の弦音は綺麗で好きですよ。
このような伝統ある素晴らしい行事をなぜテレビで放送しないのだろうか。酒宴の席でやるような下品な裸芸が公共の電波で放送されているのに、まったくマスコミの体たらくにはあきれてしまう。
ホンマにさ
dragon77411 あなたが見てないだけで結構やってるよ
dragon7777 毎年放送してるよ笑
ニュースくらい見ようぜ笑
馬鹿はもうしんだか？
成人式の関係ですよね、着飾ってるのは。
弓道の技を極めるとともに、その美も極める、ということが感じられて素敵です。見とれてしまいました。
Wonderful flycam shots, very impressive. Interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Best regards. Greg.
