- Hello Everybody,
For this quarter, a lot of people who loved my previous videos have asked me to show them the skills of the great master artisans (very few people alive) and even older but they’re still trying day-by-day to pass on traditional values to the next generations.
#bamboowork #largearchery #mastercraftsman
To thank and honor them, we decided to create a series of video shows about them and their work from the footage available from my friends and myself.
Everything has been redone. I have edited the script, rewrote the content, new effects work, new music, new footage added and a new creation is created as follows: "Miyakonojo Large Archery Bows - Highly Skilled Bamboo Craftwork of Both Practicality and Beauty"
Today, this video will probably be more appealing because of the appearance of Miyakonojo Daikyu Master Craftsman: Kikuei Teiji (菊永貞次)

Je n' aurais pas imaginé que l' arc japonais étais si complexe, sophistiqué et fascinant à la fois, du grand art avec de la patience infini?! Cela mérite un grand respect, merci infiniment pour cette vidéo...
If all countries would keep tradition and respect as the Japanese people do, maybe this world would be a far better place. Just my thoughts. I once had the privilege of spending 6 months visiting various parts of Japan, both rural and urban, and wherever I went I was always met with politeness, respect and great kindness. I will treasure these memories.
Your a real Class Act Caca!
U mean the tradition and culture that regards anyone non Japanese as sub human . Ask they showed in China during occupation and the rape of nanking.not to mention what they did to allied pow s . Very few Japanese were ever indited for war crimes and the emperor got away scott free he should ha e been shot
Brandon Meade You are aware that we did bomb the fuck out of them do I think we can call it even
Fate/TH-cam Night I mean Germany was basically raped by Russia, and this means German women were raped
Yes I agree
Simply fascinating right from the beginning. Incredibly fine craftsmanship too. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Nice footage of kyudo practitioner and japanese craftsmen.
El trabajo y la Disiplina dia tras dia y respeto a todo ser de la tierra son un gran ejemplo para el resto de la humanidad
Very interesting! Thank you.
Such discipline.
Congratulations
Parabéns
Gratifying
Wow the adults really do move like robots !
As tradições orientais são realmente admiráveis
Dear Sir/Madam,
Watching a master doing his craft is always a mesmerising spectacle & this is no exception. It's a shame we didn't get to see him making the arrows & quiver. Still a very nice documentary. Very well done. Kind regards.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you very much for your courteous & hearted reply. Kind regards.
Bowmakers only make bows. To make arrows ore quiver is an other profession. Please look: youtube: "Traditional Handmade Japanese Arrow Making" and "Ebira part1" - My bow is from Miyakonojo - yonsunnobi 17kg.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you very much for enlightening me. At 17 KG a soldier had to be pretty muscular to use it ? Kind regards.
17 kg bow is ok for me - 66 years old - for today kyudo = special technique. Soldier 400 years ago use stronger (and shorter) warbow => kyujutsu - very fast shooting - up to 10 arrows in 60 seconds: look youtube "inagaki fragments" at 5:58.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you very much for your courteous reply; Ah the good old days when men were men & didn't have the luxuries we now supposedly enjoy. At your age, you must have developed a technique to allow you to perform what appears reasonably easy. & yes I'll grant you the Japanese bow is quite an elegant weapon with deadly results in the hands of a skilled user. Kind regards.
Culture & traditional save your identity
I agree with you my friend culture and tradition save our identity:-)
I can’t cope with the repetitive musak. Nice video if I could watch all of it.
so many Japanese people love and enjoy the archery(kyu-do). but no one get the gold medal on olympic archery. what a sad~~
This is just amazing, something I have never understood was how you can get away with having your bow so asymmetric, and combined with that, why would you want it that way? I assume it adds power, but how does it not destroy your aim?
It’s for shooting from horseback and like anything will become second nature with practice.
Actually, the arrow still flies like from a normal bow. You just use a different technique for drawing.
Deadly grass.
nice video

Why is the upper limb so much longer than the lower one?
How does this not throw the arrow off?
because japanese are short people.
Ten points for style. As for target centers hit... Don't know. Does not seem important.
Exactly. It is the whole experience of the moment, more of a ceremony than an actual attempt at hitting the centre. A sort of acknowledgement of historic, feudal times with respect of the enemy - I cannot explain this in few words here, so sorry if this is very vague. Sort of " this arrow is going to kill you, I am sorry for this necessity and wish you peace in another world ...."
If you have time, have a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/yZXPEXcLbu0/w-d-xo.html which explains things in an expert manner :)
Those shots didnt look that accurate,
The timing in the video (kyudoka with black kimono) isn´t correct. You see students/"beginners" with white gi of the highschools.
We”ll never know
I wonder why they undress the half the upper body.
So that the bow string doesn't hit the cloth of the kimono during firing
Pas assez long 😢
phew, these vids of yours would be so much better without any of their impossible "music".
The first time I've seen a bow, that's not symmetric. The upper end seems to longer and curved.
rabokel many/almost all bows are either assymmetric by a small margin or need to have a stronger lower limb. This is neccessary to make sure the arrow doesnt go up high or low, bacause ususally the arrow is not centered, but about 5 cm over the center of the bow. The yumi did this in an even more extreme fashion to accomodate for shooting from the horse and allow a long draw length.
Very stylised and ritualistic, almost ballet like, but a medieval English / Welsh archer would have got a dozen arrows off in the time they got ONE, they would have looked like PIN CUSHIONS.
steve lewis Dude, you miss the point. Kyudo is a battle with the self. In essence the target is merely a point to focus. The arrow 'finds' the target itself. The bowman just draws the bow and releases the arrow. Takes years of practice to be any good. It's all about self control and style.
and miss...
Old comment, but this isn't the style of archery used in warfare. It's be like me saying a japanese footsoldiers from the 14th century would easily defeat an English archer at this time, and me using some olympic archer with a weak bow as an example.

Why ruin the beauty of the shooting process by speeding up the video? The jerking robotic motions are unpleasant.
form over function
Why do Japanese turn everything to a ceremony?
Enis Turgut Yalçınkaya Tradition,
Simply because this is what Kyudo is all about! Japanese people respect their history and are mostly non-judgemental; maybe if the majority of the rest of the world did the same, perhaps it would be a nicer place in which to live.
It is a way of sanctifying life. Try it.
Wenn die jedesmal so einen Zirkus machen bevor ein Pfeil abgeschossen wird, wie wollten die denn so etwas auf der Jagt oder im Krieg treffen?
Un gran NO GUSTA solo gracias a la música de mierda. Prefiero escuchar japones, aunque no entieneda nada!!!
