Kyudo(弓道) is the Japanese archery which is a kind of modern Japanese martial art. Back in the history, 'bow and arrows' have been carried to island of Japan by primitive mans from the Eurasian Continent. They have resided permanently in Japan and hunted animals by using it. Long after that, Samurai started to use 'bow and arrow' as a weapon of war and it became a style of Budo, which is KYUDO. KYUDO is practiced as an art and as a means of moral and spiritual development. Many archers practice kyudo as a sport, with marksmanship being paramount. Mato, a target, sizes and shooting distances vary, but most matos typically measure thirty-six centimeters in diameter and are shot at from a distance of twenty-eight meters. Kyudo is manifested in shooting that is pure and right-minded, where the three elements of attitude, movement, and technique unite in a state of perfect harmony. A true shot in kyudo is not just one that hits the center of the target, but one where the arrow can be said to exist in the target before its release. |
