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... :)

I'm a Japanese and I interested in "European Medieval Arms and Armors".
But I hardly know the "Japanese Medieval Arms and Armors"... :lol:

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

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.
