It is a Kamakura Yabusame horse performed at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura (Japan Heritage). It is a traditional Shinto ritual in which a dignified archer in the form of a warrior shoots a target with a bow and arrow from a galloping horseback riding. According to history, "In Kamakura, Minamoto no Yoritomo first made a dedication to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine on August 15, 1187." This Yabusame Shinto ritual is still being held on the Annual Grand Festival of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine (September 16). It is a brave and solemn Shinto ritual where you can feel the breath of the Kamakura period. Feel the history in the traditional events of the historic town.

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Female jockeys dressed in glossy kimono carry bows, ride on horses of Japan traditional lineage, and fly quickly through three targets while frying dust. Originally, Yabusame is an event performed only by men as a Shinto ritual, but in the modern era of the 21st century, the gender difference between men and women has been abolished, and the ancient martial arts and equestrian traditions Japan that have been handed down from ancient times have been adopted and passed on to the future, and the world fascinated by the glossy Japanese costume caress is worth visiting this land and seeing.

Invited by the sunny weather, I visited Kajo Park in Yamagata City to see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms were beginning to disperse. As I walked on the stone wall of the castle, I heard a dignified sound of shooting in the calm cherry blossom blizzard. The sound of arrows shooting bows and shooting at targets resonated very pleasantly. (Posted with the consent of the individual.) He was humbled that the shooting form was still a long way off. )

I've always liked the aesthetics of archery but have never had the chance to try it. I've shot a normal compound bow before but a longbow like this is totally different. The only Japanese martial art I've gotten to try before was kendo, which was a lot of fun, but a bit too explosive for me maybe. I prefer quiet, focused martial arts instead. I'd really love to give Kyudo a try someday, and maybe pick it up as a hobby. "So much to do, so little time" is such a cliche but it feels so true. There's an endless amount of things I want to try but finding the time for everything can be difficult at times. I think it's best to just spur of the moment do things, which is maybe why I don't like making plans so much. I like enjoying things as they come. I still want to get a bonsai tree as well!

"Brother's Bow" Freshly struck bows remove coarse unevenness and place them on a platform to settle them.

After bowing, the bow is slowly dried for about one week.

"Bow Strike" It is a process of bonding each material while bending it into a bow shape.
