  2. Very beautiful to watch, it is interesting how formalized the actions are. As a long time archer here in the US, I do have a "pace" I like to shoot, but there are no formal motions needed.

  3. 深い所で射法・弓道を理解され会得されてる事に感銘をおぼえます👍
    十文字が高いレベルで完成されてますね♪
    重心が臍下丹田に支えられてる足踏みも見事です。
    手の内の会得にはもう少し鍛錬と時間が必要かな👍
    揺るぎ無き澄ましの境地目指して今後も精進して弓道人生楽しんで下さい😀

  4. monomi, 1 ashibumi, 2 dozokuri, 3 yugamae, torikake and tennouchi, 4 yudaoshi, hikiwake, 5 daisan, 6 kai, 7 hanare, 8 zanshin, yudaoshi. They say there are eight steps but there are so many more. I hope you get into the rhythm of breath and movement to calm the mind. San mi ittai is where the real beauty of Kyudo emerges.

  5. You have a strong bow, how much spring (kg) and length(cm) ?
    Your pushing side (left side) elbow is laying. Was your left arm   joint to your shoulder correctly? The head is slightly tilted.

  6. 美しい会でした
    見事な小笠原流の射法八節だと思います。
    おっしゃる通り、押手の手のうちに迷いが見えました
    私見ですが、押手はもっと自信をもって親指の付け根を的に向かって押し切って
    薬指や小指は沿えるだけ。。。おそらくきれいな弓反りも自然におこります。

  7. 美しい、的を射る為の一連の体の動きと心使い集中力って言うのかな、そう言うのを作法って呼ぶのかな?鍛錬なんって日本語がありますが、弓を持つ貴女の表情は子供の様な無我夢中な表情で素晴らしい
