The annual archery tournament at
Sanjusangen-do temple in Kyoto was held last Sunday, and since I was going
hiking in the Higashiyama area anyway, I decided to brave the crowds and take a
look for myself. Although I've used the modern recurve bow as well as the traditional
English longbow, I’ve never seen traditional Japanese
archery before.
As luck might have it, I was just in time
for the women’s archery. I don’t think it
would be an exaggeration to say that nowhere in the world could you hope to find
a more colourful gathering of archers!
