Ritual Japanese Archery or Kyudo in Kyoto

Показать описание
The ritual or ceremonial side of Japanese archery or Kyudo. At the Shimogamo Shinto Shrine, the oldest and one of the largest Shinto temples in Kyoto, hundreds of Japanese archers gather in a Shinto ceremony to ward off evil spirits that live outside the temple.
The archer shoots a "whistling" arrow called Kabura-ya over the roof of the enormous temple gate. The whistling sound wards off evil spirits that collect outside the gate and in the forest beyond. Shinto religion can be seen in many aspects of martial arts in Japan, and in the making of Samurai swords.

Quite an honor to be the one to make this shot. Would love to know the history of this art. Japan is a country rich of culture and ancient history...love that it's not forgotten in time.

Such a haunting sound and image. The archer looks like a war god declaring battle with the wailing cry of his arrow.
