Hi

Today (Sunday April 19) I went to watch a ahow of "Japanese equestrian archery".
This event was held in KAMAKURA city.
It was crowded with very many people. And there were many foreign tourists, too... Happy

I'm a Japanese and I interested in "European Medieval Arms and Armors".
But I hardly know the "Japanese Medieval Arms and Armors"... Laughing Out Loud

If you have interest... Please look at the official site. The official site is commented on in the English.

I took the following photos.

Thanks for the pictures and the link. Really would love to see yabusame in person, even if I myself is a foot archer. Too bad I really don't have the time to shoot that often with my yumi.
