Thank you so much for making these videos! I did Kyudo while studying abroad in Japan and these guides make it so much easier to get back into the practice without having to translate videos or handbooks!
Sharing a note: to adjust brace height using the method at @3:27, the significant adjustment is by pulling more string through and making the tail of that first string loop longer, as was demonstrated in the video. The narration talked about adjusting the size of the loop itself but pulling through more string was what really mattered.
I really enjoy your videos. I started learning kyudo after I arrived in Japan 6 months ago, and it’s really helpful to find a good explanation in English. Thank you.
Thank you for this! Do you nock your arrow at the upper edge of the Nigiri, just where it meets the Yazurido? I thought the nocking point had to be a little above this point, so that the arrow isn't sliding along the Nigiri, when it is released. Yes, I'm a newbie. Hoping for your thoughts. :)
Great video, really well timed. It's the next thing I need to learn how to do! Beautiful dojo by the way. Mine is in a warehouse looking building! How many 6dan do you have?? We have one! Most of the rest are 5dan....
Nice video. Thanks to your video I managed to do nakajikake correctly. I have been a kyudoka for a year. Soon I will have my own bow. Any advice to prepare it?
Question: If the nakajikake wears out around the knocking point of the arrow, do you have to cut down the whole thing and put on a fresh nakajikake or can you just enforce that one spot with a few hemp threads?
What I have done in the past is use a pair of pliers to squeeze down the part of the string where you'll be knocking your arrow. Either that or use a file to file down the area a bit
@@kurikurinton Thank you very much for the suggestion. Pliers sound like they could help. I recently tried a bit of careful sandpapering... but the results were quite rough.
Thank you very much for such detailed video, for the first time today I've pepared my first new string following your instructions.
Very detailed video. It was my first time changing a bowstring and this video was very helpful. Thank you very much.🙇♂🏹

I wrap it the opposite way so the departing arrow tightens the twist.
Thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy watching them. You inspire me to try kyudo.
Thank you so much for the video. These videos really help especially since there's a lack of English videos about the Japanese Yumi.

Very well-made video! Thank you!
very nice release.

Can you PLEASE do more videos on Ya and Yumi maintenance 🤩😍

Where can I purchase the metal string measurement device and the fiber for wrapping? thank you

You can just reinforce it with a little bit more of the thread! 👍 no need to make any bigger changes like cutting it off or changing strings.
Any advice for if it's a little too thick even after the glue has finished setting?

Can you explain WHY the top loop wraps need to go on the right and the bottom loop wraps need to go on the left?
physics - the knot is different in front or back, but the distance wood-tsuru had to be the same!
@@kyudodetmold I'm sorry, but that doesn't fully explain or help me understand
This is a nice and helpful video. I wish there were no music, I find it distracting and even jarring.
👍🙏🙏
is the hair elven hair?
Yes, as a matter of fact it is! Taken by force! ☠️
