Matsumoto Castle visit: Exterior design part 3: cool design: Ishi Otoshi Happy Tuesday everyone! When I visited Matsumoto Castle several months ago Matt Okuhara was kind enough to guide me around the castle. I found numerous interesting design features both inside and out. In my past posts I have discussed the armour I'm wearing and sama windows for matchlocks and yumi (I will post these on my story to refresh your memories). I found the design feature of ishi otoshi (石落とし) to be quite interesting. Ishi 石 is stone and otoshi 落とし is to drop, so a stone dropping area. The main purpose of this defensive architectural design was said to be to deter and repel attackers attempting to breach/climb the walls or gates of a castle.「石落とし」（いしおとし）は、日本の城や要塞における防御手法の一つです。この手法は、敵が城や要塞の壁や門を攻撃して侵入しようとする際に使用されました。 Matsumoto Jo has 11 official ishi otoshi areas. The design is relatively straightforward as the photos show. The walls jut out leaving openings on the floor which facilitate the dropping of objects onto the enemy if they approached or attempted to scale the walls. This sudden and unexpected barrage of falling debris served to impede the progress of the enemy forces and inflict damage, making it more difficult for them to breach the defenses of the castle. 松本城では、合計11か所の石落が備えられているといいます。石落としの原理は比較的単純で、城や要塞の壁や門の上に石や重い物を配置し、敵が近づいてきた際にそれらを落として攻撃するというものです。石や物を落とすことで、敵の動きを阻止し、城や要塞を守ることができます。 The design was integrated into the overall defensive architecture of the walls together with sama windows for both hinawaju and yumi samurai. Ishi otoshi and sama windows can be seen in other castles throughout Japan too. But what exactly was thrown from the ishi otoshi? It was said that boiled excrement or sewage were poured on the enemy as well as stones and rocks. If an enemy managed to get close, it was said they were also stabbed with spears and swords. One researcher suggests the opposite, that no stones were used at all, and the ishiotoshi were primarily for matchlocks and their close range defense. #Japan #history #castles #architecture #armor #matsumotocastle #matsumoto #松本城 #design #deepdive #伝統文化 #伝統 #Shogun #shogunfx #samurai #samuraisword #katana #ukiyoe #浮世絵 #smile

報告 Announcement x mini deep dive: kurabe uma競馬(乗馬競技伝統文化) (Swipe) This week, I was appointed as a Public Relations Ambassador for the Saitama Prefectural Government. I'm the only non-Japanese person in the role to date, which is both exciting and a little daunting.この度令和6年度埼玉県広報アンバサダーに任命致しました。外国籍私だけなようです。 I have been working with the Prefectural Government since 2018 in my role as Love Saitama Ambassador (Tourism Ambassador) . Going forward, I will take on both roles. I hope to specifically focus on traditional culture, products, people (artisans and craftspeople), and places (castles,historical buildings)in Saitama. この度埼玉県庁の広報アンバサダーになりました！一年間埼玉県の伝統文化、伝統工芸品、職人、深い歴史のある場所を自ら収財、インスタで取り上げていきたいと思います。2018年から努めてるラブ埼玉アンバサダーの活動は変わらず、広報アンバサダーとダブルで国内外向かって埼玉県の魅力をメディアとSNSで発信します。 Please stick with me and hopefully discover some interesting and cool things about Saitama along the way. 引き続き応援よろしくお願いします。 I found the kimono and obi I wore to the appointment ceremony second hand via internet auction. The kimono design shows kurabe uma競馬 in the Heian Period. 自前の着物と帯ですが浦和にある出張着付けの着付けお願いしました🙏🏻訪問着が平安時代の競馬の絵がかかれており、帯も競馬と5月に行われる伝統神事であって県庁の式のタイミングに良いかなと思いました。 📌「KURABE UMA」This Shinto ritual began when kurabeuma moved from the imperial court over to shrines as a prayer for peace and good harvest. The jockeys or norijiri 乗尻 ride in pairs, and the ukata 右方(right side) and sakata 左方 (left side) run their horses,competing along the 200m track. Two horses run with a one-length difference; if the difference widens, the horse in front wins, and if it narrows, the horse behind wins. This ritual can be seen every year at Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto at the start of May. 乗尻（のりじり）右方（うかた）と左方（さかた）が一対となって馬を走らせ、早さを競う。1馬身の差をつけて2頭の馬を走らせ、その差が広がれば前の馬、縮まれば後の馬の勝利となる。毎年5月、京都の上賀茂神社 #埼玉県広報アンバサダー #着物 #kimono #horses #Japan #Saitama #くらべ馬 #history #nihonga #artesian #May #伝統文化 #歴史 #kurabeuma #競馬 #PublicRelations #埼玉県庁 #Government #happiness #kyudo #弓道

New Article Information: Visit to the Armory Store Tokyo 英語執筆お知らせ：甲冑工房丸武東京店へ訪問 📌I have written a new article for BudoJapan about procuring samurai armour in Tokyo. Access via link in stories or visit budojapan.com →feature articles I am often asked about where in Japan to purchase both antique and authentic replica samurai armour. As part of my research in finding reputable shops to recommend to you all I visited a wonderful store and showroom called The Armory Store which stocks Marutake Industries armour, footwear and garments (jinbaori and hakama for underneath armour).海外フォロワーの方から骨董品でもレプリカ甲冑や着物の購入についていつもDM頂いてます。この度は鎧兜甲冑工房丸武産業東京店へお邪魔しました。丸武の案内やお店の案内が今回英語の記事になってます。 📌There is more detailed information about Marutake Industries and The Armory Store, so please read the online article for more information. Anyway, let's talk about the armour in the photos a little. Usually try-ons in the shop are really only for people very seriously considering purchase. I was very lucky on this day to try on Oda Nobunaga yoroi which was made for the 1992 period tv drama [Nobunaga].1992年大河ドラマ　信長のために製作した作品; 織田信長（大河モデル） I got a great lesson on tying my waraji (straw sandals) and hakama. Even though the armour was reasonably heavy ~22kg and was made for a man, it was very comfortable due to the great dressing skills of the shop staff. The sarashi uwaobi サラシ上帯 as I have said in past posts is THE thing that makes the difference and allows me to wear armour for hours without fatigue. I wore a menpo with a mustache which was fun and they allowed me to step out onto the street in front of the shop (I wanted to run away with the armour on🤣）草鞋やたっつけ袴の結び方丁寧に教えて頂いて、サラシ上帯の使い方こちらで初めて聞きました。上帯の使用により長時間甲冑を着用してても疲れない💡 *Due to sanitation rules I wore a mask inside the menpo Marutake makes most of the armour used in period/samurai dramas/movies. The armour has been designated as a Traditional Craft from the Kagoshima Prefectural Government. I would love to visit the head office and workshop in Kagoshima sometime! #armor #armour #samurai #yoroi #kacchu #甲冑 #兜 #職人 #kimono #Japan #samuraiarmor #sword #katana #伝統文化 #writing #SHOGUN #bushido #history #時代劇 #大河ドラマ #artesian #LARP

Happy Sunday: Book information📖 I'm honoured to announce myself and some members of the YouMe and Zen Kyudo Club in Tokyo were photographed for Richard Koek sans new book; Tokyo Tokyo. アメリカ住まいカメラマンのリチャードさんが毎週稽古会を開催する：弓と禅弓道会の稽古会を来ました。素敵な写真撮らせていただきました。2枚の写真にリチャードの新しいフォトブック：Tokyo Tokyoをのさせていただきました。 Richard san came to photograph our weekly Tokyo based kyudo practice. His book Tokyo Tokyo is huge and beautiful and contains so many detailed and interesting photos. Even for someone like myself who has lived in Japan for 22 years, there are some subjects and places photographed that even residents do not really get the chance to see. People who haven't visited Japan but wish to, people who have visited and wish to come back, I think this book could be a great addition. I'm so appreciative of these chances to raise awareness of kyudo. Massive thanks to Richard san and to Naomi san for connecting us. Available at selected bookstores throughout the world and on Amazon.

Happy Sunday The other day, I took a kyudo video as I do in order to check my form and when I zoomed in on my left hand I noticed a problem😮 📌 矢口が開くarrow moves up 📌 矢が浮く arrow moves when it shouldn't In my case putting excessive pressure or tension in my fingers was part of the reason for the arrow to move.単純に勝手指に力は入る This micro movement is not upon kindly🥺its a signal to show a pin point change in pressure has occurred. In a place where the index finger at least should be very relaxed. The middle finger, well it depends on draw weight and glove type etc .Over all finger tension isn't necessary to pull the bow as the glove that the bownstring goes into on our hardened thumb will do a lot of the work.審査ではこのような事はでないよう稽古続けてます。 I saw the arrow move up before my eyes and instantly relaxed my right hand fingers. Not ideal, but the arrow went back down. 瞬間的に指の力を抜いて矢が下がりましたがはじめからこの事にならないと良いな。 I wonder if anything like this happens in barebow, longbow, recurve archery etc? #kyudo #弓道 #archery #archer #longbow #mistake #history #着物 #伝統文化 #ikigai #learning #Japan #martialarts #retire #practicemakesperfect #focus

Happy Saturday! Samurai hitatare 直垂ひたたれの話 Did you watch SHOGUN? I did,and I really liked it. I was really drawn to everyone's garments/kimono. Womens Sengoku period garments were so beautiful and not something I knew a lot about before the show. Men wore kosode and uchikake, the more formal times they wore hitatare 直垂. テレビシリーズSHOGUNやっとみ終わり、結構好きでした。特に皆さんの着物が良かったです。戦国時代の婦人着物が初めて見ました。男性の小袖とうちかけや直垂がかっこよかったです。 The hitatare originated in the early Heian period, and by the mid 13th century, it had become the standard samurai garment. Patterns and colours would denote the wearers staus within society at the time.平安時代から存在する物であって、後で武士の服として使われました。 In two parts, the top and bottom are made from the same fabric. The bottom is a hakama (pleated trousers) similar to a womens kyudo hakama without koshiita. Please swipe to see all the parts of the hitatare named. 写真で着てる物が｢直垂｣です! 上と下に別れており、上は直垂、下が袴になってて、直垂袴と呼ばれてます。今思えば弓道の女性袴に形に近いかも。 As a general rule, the top and hakama of the hitatare are made from the same fabric.Traditionally made of linen, then later silk after it became a type of formal wear..直垂は原則として上衣と袴が同じ生地で仕立てられ、パッと見では二部式と分からないのが特徴です。It is said that over time the upper part of the hitatare has become its own garment called a haori The sleeves are very wide and long. There is a cord woven in the bottom part of each sleeve (and sometimes on each hakama leg)the tsuyu 露紐 which can be drawn up and the sleeve can be closed tightly around the wrist giving more freedom of movement and use.袖の部分が面白くて、広い長いのに、先に通ってる露紐を持って袖絞っていくと袖幅が小さくなる。 The cords of both sleeves can be tied together and put over the wearer's head and brought to the back of the body to get the sleeves out of the way to fight or hunt. I found a ukiyo-e showing this.浮世絵出ますが、両袖の紐絞って右左を結び、頭の上そして後ろに持っていく、結んだまま背中につけていくと襷なように、袖がうしろになる。Afterwards the cords would be released and the garment would return to its initial state.狩猟や戦が終わると紐をほどいて、袖は元に戻る。 📌References pinned in comment section #kimono #Shogun #shogunfx #naginata #horses #hitatare #traditional #antique #kyudo #弓道 #samurai #武士 #太刀 #sword #LARP #Japan #歴史 #タイムスリップ #時代劇 #大河ドラマ #history #research #直垂 #fabric #伝統文化 #formalwear #silk #着物 #autumn #love

Happy Sunday! Check my feet👣 Have you heard of ippon ha geta一本歯下駄 or tengu geta天狗下駄? Geta are traditional Japanese wooden shoes *swipe for detail on geta parts *swipe to see the difference between standard and ippon ha geta There are different shapes for different uses and statuses of people and their roles in society. In different times in history, everyone from samurai to townspeople have worn them.下駄は面白い伝統の履き物ですね😃 Up till the Edo period, geta were primarily worn when it rained. Their height helped prevent the wearer from dirtying their kimono and feet🫶 Ippon geta were said to have come about out of necessity. People who visited and lived around mountainous areas like yamabushi or monks found removing one of the two teeth on standard geta provided better balance and traction when ascending and descending. 大昔山伏が山の降り、山降りる時歯を一本にして方がバランスがとりやすいといいます。 They also feature in ukiyoe art with yokai 妖怪 or supernatural creatures like the kasa obake 傘お化け. The single tooth is also said to resemble the nose of a tengu天狗, a mythical folklore creature known for its long nose. These days I found that athletes and martial artists here in Japan use them as a sort of body conditioning/cross training and rehabilitation tool as they are said to improve posture and balance and engage your core.武道家、スポーツ選手の中ではじわじわと人気になってます I always thought they looked quite mysterious and wild however, when I tried them on I was pleasantly surprised to find they were easy to walk in. 見た目がワイルドですが実際はいってみると楽に歩けます🫶 Right now I wear them inside and use them as a warm up before my kyudo practice. I'm most interested in researching to see if they will help improve my core strength and kyudo technique.お稽古前に使用すると全身ワーミングアップできます。 Continued in comments 続きはコメント欄へ The geta I'm wearing were handmade by an artesian in Gujo City, Gifu, for Arucuto by Yosuke Miyazaki san. They are made of Hinoki/ Cypress and smell really nice. 製作は郡上踊りで有名な郡上市の職人さんです。一本歯下駄 T-FOOT 宮崎要輔 #kyudo #弓道 #下駄 #geta #Japan #history #artesian #Cypresstree #fitness #posture #姿勢 #challenge #kimono #monpe #もんぺ #着物 #history #ukiyoe #浮世絵 #feet #foot #sakura #桜 #cherryblossom #一本歯下駄 #Arucuto #unique #伝統文化 #yokai #archery #longbow

Happy April🌸I love sakura🌸 Lets talk about kuro jusu eri 黒繻子衿or kuro kake eri/掛け衿(swipe for antique photos and ukiyoe) These beautiful photos are some of my precious memories of spring taken by the photographer Kumiko Yamada. ある春とっていただいた大切な思い出🌸山田カメラマンありがとうございました。 On this day, I got the wonderful opportunity to learn about an interesting and functional part of kimono during the Edo period.Can you see the black collar. Why black? What purpose did the black collar serve? In modern kimono culture in Japan, we dont really see the kuro kake eri much anymore, maybe only during period dramas and movies.時代劇、大河ドラマ以外あんまり黒掛け衿は見れなくなりました。個人的にすごい好きです。 Nihongami came back into fashion during Edo, and the oil and wax used for setting and styling the hair was said to tend to get on the collar of the kimono. 江戸時代に流行りで日本髪に結い上げるようになり、鬢つけ油を使用その時少し衿に付いちゃったり••• Kimono used to be worn every day; but commoners didn't have as many kimono as the wealthy, and kimono weren’t washed as frequently/were difficult to wash. Over time, the collar area of kimono became very dirty, The black collar hid the dirt, sweat, and discolouration very well. 黒掛け衿が衿周りの汚れ（鬢付け油汚れ）を防ぐ為に付けられていたそう。 I found that men also wore kuro kake eri on their hanten and tanzen coats too which was cool. I love the black collar. It reminds me of lapels on a tuxedo. 女性に限らず半纏や丹前などにも男性も付けました。 #Japan #kimono #着物 #江戸時代 #sakura #cherryblossoms #花見 #桜 #撮影 #モデル #伝統文化 #culture #history #antique #model #outdoors #Spring #happiness #knowledge #時代劇 #大河ドラマ #ukiyoe #新日本髪 #nihongami #着物女 #menskimono #photography #onnabugeisha #LARP Do you like 👘 kimono?

Kyudo has 8 kata or hassetsu (八節) 8 movements or forms. The hassetsu begin by the creation of a strong foundation for shooting with correct body placement in ashibumi足踏 and ends with the final form or spirit: zanshin 残心/残身 and lowering of the yumi: yudaoshi 弓倒し. 📌Thanks to Dari Japan for editing this wonderful video: [Jessica's life in Japan: a working mother who practices kyudo, the Japanese martial art of archery] There is a full video on their YT channel which includes a house tour too🫶 I hope that people find interest and benefit in practicing kyudo as it has positively impacted my life too. So many wonderful friends, a great kyudo community, a place I can be myself without fear of judgment (ibasho 居場所). Kyudo is quite a unique and wonderful martial art.

Happy Sunday from Japan🫶[SWIPE]Have you heard of the igote射籠手/the Japanese archers sleeve?射籠手はご存じですか？ The other day in Nikko at the Toshogu Shrine, I wore an igote as part of the preparation for Ogasawara-ryu mounted archery training with [My Shogun Story].この間日光東照宮にて小笠原流体験で着せていただきました。 An igote can be translated as a bow gauntlet or bow sleeve.Worn on the left arm, the igote serves to protect the archers arm and kimono/garment sleeve from getting caught in the bow string.左の袖は弓の弦に巻き込まないよう(場合によって)射籠手の中で着物の袖が綺麗にまとまります。 Traditionally, igote is part of the clothing worn when hunting (kari shozoku 狩装束), or when performing horseback archery (kissha 騎射)。If you swipe, you can see ukiyoe that depict these activities. 射籠手が騎射や狩猟の装束を一つ。弓手/左手につけるもの They are traditionally made of silk or cotton with a hemp lining. They are also a bit different to the sleeve worn with kacchu/armour (kagote籠手) 甲冑用の籠手と別物です。錦・綾などの表地に、中に麻、裏に平絹をつけて作られてるものが多いです。 The attendants at the training tied my igote for me. If you look closely, the cords are braided most beautifully then tucked away inside the back of the igote.最後紐を綺麗に編み込みでまとめ、背中と射籠手の間に入れ込みスッキリした仕上げ。 This was the first time to be shown how to wear and tie an igote in this way. Usually, when I practice sports yabusame, I wear an igote. I was impressed and interested at the level of detail down to the exact way to tie and tuck away the cord.今まで何度も射籠手は着したことありますが、着せ方、結び方などは知りませんでしたので、とても勉強になりました。 Kiyomoto Ogasawara sensei posted about a useful was for the igote to be used by men in kimono during winter at kyudo practices. Usually men must remove their kimono sleeve (hadanugi) but in winter it is freezing. Ogasawara sensei suggests keeping your kimono on and wearing an igote instead. I think this is a great idea. 小笠原清基先生によりますと男性が寒い時期に着物着て弓のお稽古する時は肌脱ぎをせず、射籠手を着用すると暖かいままお稽古ができます。とても良いアイデアと思います。昔から日本の伝統である物が現代でも便利と感じられる。 📌References in comments below: #kyudo #弓道 #history #歴史 #yabusame #流鏑馬 #archery #horsebackarchery #history #Nikko #garmenthistory #traditionalculture #伝統文化 #archer #kimono #着物 #射籠手 #ukiyoe #浮世絵 #Ogasawararyu #小笠原流 #kyujutsu #弓術 📌Would you like to try kyudo or horseback archery in Japan?

Kyudo journey弓道 Each practice I try to improve or move forward in some way if only 1% (the theory of kaizen改善) over time the small incremental changes add up (I hope).正しい射、正しい体の使い方探し続けてます。 Sometimes I look back at my shooting from 2 or 3 years ago and think it looks better. I know that I was shooting with my hands and not my body. Little by little I'm trying to overcome bad habits and focus on correct body usage in my shooting. 数年前の射をみて懐かしく感じます。今よりイキイキした射だった。ただ体の使い方があんまり上手じゃなかった。 Each of our kata or hassetsu build upon each other to create bothba foundation for shooting and a whole shot for one arrow.重ねていく弓道の八節.一つ一つが大切がこだわりすぎも良くないと最近の課題。 In my understanding, for each kata, each muscle or body part needs to be used in a certain sequence at a certain % then for the next kata some tension is added some taken off. Angles, speed, timing, pressure with each movement so many things come into play. My mind is full but empty at the same time🥺 #弓道 #kyudo #Japan #lifeinjapan #passion #love #archery #longbow #slowlife #slow #マイペース #魅力的 #伝統文化 #healthy #mindfulness #ikigai #archer #budo #kaizen #改善 #着物

Do you know about reiho礼法? 礼法はご存じですか? If you train in martial arts like kendo, judo, karate, kyudo etc you may have heard of it before. 武道家はご存じと思います🤗 The other day I had the wonderful opportunity to train in Ogasawara-ryu reiho, kyujutsu and kyubajutsu for the day. With an over 830 year tradition I was very honoured to be invited.先日は日光東照宮の武徳殿にて小笠原流礼法、弓術、弓馬術を体験しました。 This post will be about reiho or samurai etiquette.今日は礼法について。Reigi is the concept of etiquette or manners and reiho is its physical manifestation. The kanji for reiho is 礼法礼 rei: gratitude, manners, etiquette, bow, ceremony; ritual 法 hou: method, principle I arrived at Nikko and traveled to the amazing Toshogu Shrine. After changing into hakama and dougi I entered the Butokuden an historical building and dojo and was amazed by the beautiful equipment. Ogasawara Kiyomoto sensei explained about reiho. When samurai fought in heavy armour the bodies agility and balance was very important and the basic movements or kihontai: (standing, sitting, walking, bowing, holding, turning) these are foundations for Ogasawara ryu kyujutsu (archery) and kyubajutsu(mounted archery) and the practitioners' everyday lives. 礼法の基本体いかせると、日常生活が豊かになりますし、無駄な動きを省き、必要最小限の機能を使う、実用的かつ合理的なところに特徴がある。 The amount of core, back, leg strength and overall body control sensei has is phenomenal. The movements are so fluid and natural. Something seemingly as simple as standing up from seiza when done correctly was still very difficult for me. As a kyudo practitioner reiho is something I have been wanting to pursue properly as I know it will have a positive affect on my taihai(group shooting) as well as over all technique.弓引きである、小笠原流礼法を学ぶ事は所々ありましたがちゃんと習いたいと思います。きっと体配達や弓を持ったときの立ち振舞いに良い影響があると思います。 I found shikkou in reverse the hardest. Swipe for a video of sensei performing it(going forward). Especially backwards. I felt very uncoordinated. I finished the training totally tired.後ろに進む膝行が初めてであんまりうまくできませんでした。 📌Continued below #kyudo #reiho #shogun #伝統文化 #将軍 #samurai #kyujutsu #yabusame #Ogasawararyu #Japan #kimono #hiddenjapan #secret #弓道 #礼法 #流鏑馬 #弓馬術 #movement #training #balance #strength #Nikko #sdgs

I visited Matsumoto Castle and it was amazing!(Part2: Exterior) 松本城:デザインと狭間 I met up with Matt Okuhara san from England. Matt has lived in Matsumoto for 8 years and is well know for his Matsumo Gun Corp content as @gun.samurai イギリス出身、松本住まい:奥原マットさんと合流しました。在住8年目、マットさんは松本城鉄砲隊のメンバー。 Matt san was kind enough to show me around the grounds and interior of Matsumoto Castle. マットさんが御城の敷地内案内してくれました。 After crossing the moat to the Kuromon, Matt san pointed out the design of the area where we we were standing. If enemies infiltrated that part of the castle, both sets of gates could be closed, boxing in the enemy before they breached the castle grounds. 入場チケットゲートと黒門の間のエレアに突然止まりました。マットさんの説明によるともし敵が入ってたら両ゲートを閉めれば敵がとじ込んだ状態になり上の窓から簡単に狙われます。 I realised very quickly on that the design of Matsumoto Castle is intricate and multipurpose. As a town planner the design and layout was very interesting. We had only taken a few steps inside but already there were so many fascinating details.数歩しか入ってないのに御城デザインの細かさを感じました。中にいる方を守るためでも建物。 Interior and outward facing wall s of the area we stood had two types of windows known as sama 狭間（さま). Matt explained the taller elongated window was for archers 矢狭間 yazama, the shorter window for matchlock gunners called 鉄砲狭間 teppozama. 狭間（さま）が興味深かった。鉄砲や矢で敵を攻撃するためにつくられました。控塀には狭間（さま）があり、対岸の敵を弓矢や火縄銃で攻撃できるようになっています。正方形のものが「鉄砲狭間」、長方形のものが「矢狭間」。The shape and design of the sama windows is fascinating. It is such that the sama is cut away at an oblique angle so that the archer has a wide range of movement. Windows in European castles are known as arrowslits, arrow loops, loopholes or balistraria (narrow vertical aperture in a fortification through which an archer can shoot).外国では矢間はアロースリット、アローループなどと色んな名前ついてます。 Please look forward to Part 3: inside the castle! #katana #samurai #castle #history #伝統文化 #お城 #🏯 #sword #Japan #daytrip #日帰り #bushido #kacchu #甲冑 # #兜 #armour #armor #歴史 #gunsamurai #weapons #grwm #ootd #archer #medieval #history #歴史 #MatsumotoCity #松本市 #LARP

Why does your bow look weird? Why do you hold the bow so low down? Why is your bow shaped like that?弓が上下非対称なのはなぜ？ Let's talk about the yumi: the Japanese asymmetrical bow. Why is it shaped like that? Why is it asymmetric? There are many theories about why the yumi is that asymetric shape. The truth is it's a bit of a mystery. 📌Better clearance?弓が邪魔にならないため？ Historically the yumi was used by samurai on horseback (Heian Period) and in a crouched/kneeling position and the shorter lower limb provided clearance.歴史的に武士は馬上または、しゃがんだ/ひざまずいた姿勢で使用され 📌Less recoil/vibration?振動がより少ない？ The place with the least amount of vibration is one-third from the top and bottom. Having less vibration should help create higher accuracy and put less strain on your arms. 振動が一番少ない場所は上下から３分の１の場所となります振動が少ない部分を持つこと＝的中の精度が上がることにつながります。腕への負担も少なくてすみます 📌Ergonomics?人間工学に基づいたデザイン？ Other research suggests when the yumi is in full draw the lower grip position on the bow allows the archer to effectively use the kyudo tenouchi giving a strong grip allowing more force/power to arrows.他の研究では持つ位置が真ん中ではなく、下から3分の1の理由としては会の状態に手の内がうまく働き矢飛びがより速いといわれてます。 📌Other theories: Personally I'm not sure about these他の理論(個人的によくわかりませんが） 📌Bamboo 竹だから？ Traditionally yumi are made bamboo which is said to require an asymmetrical design due to the top of the bamboo plant often being smaller and softer than the bottom 📌draw lengthアーチェリーより引き尺が長いから？ Its said that the asymmetrical design allows for greater draw length and more power. The modern kyudo draw is long, but historically draw lengths, especially with kabuto, were different/shorter.非対称の弓はより大きな引き尺得られ、よりパワーが得られるようですが、昔大鎧や甲冑(兜)着られてる武士の引き尺が現代弓道より短いと言われてます。 Whichever the reason is, I think the yumi is an amazing bow. It's shape is quite unique and wonderful. 📌References in pinned comment or on FB #kyudo #弓道 #archery #Japanesearchery #Japan #history #longbow #弓道女子 #relax #samurai #martialarts #着物 #kimono #着物美人 #bushido #physics #didyouknow #funfacts #historygirl #伝統文化 #日本伝統 #sports #scienceisfun #物理学 #kimonolove #ghostoftsushima #kikyo #tsurune
