Kyudo is not competition of shooting arrows. Its purpose is to approach empty mind. This video seems telling that.

Ahem... In my humble opinion, archery is about hitting the target. I am pretty sure, japanese archery used to be the same way too. But if you wanna meditate with bow in your hand, I guess thats fine too. Just, dont call it archery.

ernst de groot Thanks, nice video. However, it only proves my point. Kyudo isn't archery. This is a way of meditation. And that means that my deer would be miles away from me while I am prepping for the "kyudo style" shot. This is the same issue with a lot of trad martial arts - they lost practical aspect these. Think about it.

Burboss You are right, I did not realize that by "target" you meant a living creature. In kyudo all you want to hit is paper or straw.

Kiza requires breathing to your tanden while waiting for the first person to shoot, I am still trying to master it, this lady has done very well for the 5th position (ochi). I am very impressed

"Ein guter Schuss muss treffen." Inagaki Sensei. - Die hier demonstrierte Art des höfischen Bogenschießens unterscheidet sich von der des am kriegerischen Schießen orientierten Heki-Stils in wesentlichen Dingen. Um beide Stilarten jedoch bei Wettbewerben nebeneinander ausüben zu können - ohne sich zu stören - hat man sich auf einen besonderen zeitlichen Ablauf geeinigt. - Im Kriegsschießen sind bis zu 10 Pfeile pro Minute ohne Weiteres möglich! - Mit Meditation alleine trifft man nix!

Well you can tell that the arrow hit the target by the sound it made! :) But I agree that it would have been nice to have a shot of the whole body.

There are certain reasons for not being relevant to show the target. One is that you can hear if the arrow hitted the target or not. Where exactly, it is really not important whatsoever. The concentric circles on the japanese target are meant to help aiming, not to measure accuracy. There is more. In kyudo, after the arrow is released the shooting is not yet finished. There are two more steps to be performed, as important as the others. If I watch a master shooting, I definitely want to see HIM.

The arrow is supposed to lean against the cheek. It is one of the main points to be checked before the release.

No reason to put the target further. Perhaps the bow is not very powerful.

Some practice judo, some visit Tokyo. C'mon man, if you are really informed -as I think you strive to, and I wish you to always be- you know by now that notorious japanese names or words can be romajized as above. Japanese themselves do so.

The ideea of emptiness reffers to the mind of the archer, and it doesn't really mean "no mind", but rather "not-to-fill-one's-mind-with-anything-more-than-one-have-to-think-about-when-performing-the-act-of-shooting". On the other hand, japanese language is tricky for our western ways of thinking, and many translations does not reveal the true meaning of a japanese word. Oh, and this video is not about zen archery, but about a shooting of a great sensei. One of the best videos, by the way.

There are no "zen archers". Never were. Only in some people's mind. If you really want to know, read "Zen in the Art of Archery", than "The Myth of Zen in the Art of Archery". Or only the second cited. Now, on the battlefield there were archers. And, as you imagine, they were fast.

thats a pretty far shot... judging from the time between Hanare and the sound of the arrow hitting the target.. i wonder if its the standart 28 meters or if it was further..

Ah ok, that is good to know because the context is certainly important to the style of shooting.

Kyudo isn`t really related to Zen, is it? What you perceive as Zen is merely the kind of mindset required in many martial arts/sports, it`s focus. Kyudo as Zen is something that became mainstream in the western world thanks to Herrigel`s book, but it hardly reflects the mechanical practise the sport actually requires.
@GloriaTortorella12 жыл бұрын
I have to point out that this is a ceremony and not normal practice. I don't want to debate about "real kyudo" but you have to consider the context ad the different schools/shooting styles. No one will ever shoot like this during a tournament or daily practice.

@TAKEMARU666 "English are by far the worlds (sic) best archers" Strange I just checked the world rankings and the first Englishman was ranked 11th and one other somewhere below 15th and there was one woman ranked 18th. I'd hardly call that the "best by far."

there seems no before, no after, only during, totally in the moment and the shooting leaves no trace behind. no blinking at all and even upon release with the arrow and the string passing there is absolute calmness in the face. really amazing also for me as I practice Kyudo now since quite some time. thank you for posting
