Is the tachi on their waist real?

[jwgoon]

Simply magnificent and beautiful...such skill will never exist anywhere else in the world...the perfect expression of Japanese Budo

[StratenaMatoha]

@jwgoon "will never exist "

Maybe you should live in Europe in 4-6 century to see Hun's (or later Mongol) invasions.

在来種の馬ですかね？結構力強い走りですね＾＾

[tokyochase]

[curlywolf]

see the first comment.

[Shreendg]

@curlywolf Tell again please.

[furofox]

I believe Mifune toshiro was a living treasure in this art..

[RoninDave]

nice vid and music! I've been to Miura once as well where they do kasagake - the shooting at targets closer to the ground in the front. Check out my newest yabusame vid which has scenes from kamakura and miura.

[curlywolf]

cool, RD. i will check out your stuff

[asasas1987]

These traditions must not be eclipsed because they keep bushido seishin alive and it is a worldwide legacy.

[gagagoopy]

Just beautiful...

[chinggiskhaan123]

Keeping the true bushido spirit and tradition alive- awesome.

[curlywolf]

yes. and sadly in the newspaper the other day, a different dojo has to close down because there aren't any younger ones that can keep it open. i think keeping a horse is pretty expensive in Japan.

[Aeris97]

its a festival is't it?

[hyrcan]

During Tsurugaoka-hachimangu Reitasai they have a yabusame exhibition

What's the title of the song? Where'd you get it?

[gregoriodemoncho]

I'm too stupid. I should've read the other comments first. my bad. Sorry. You already wrote the singer and the song title. Thanks.

[curlywolf]

come on Gregorio! read the 6 or 7 other comments on this video! i will add to those comments that it came off a CD called Samurai... i can't remember. Samurai something. just look at the other videos and do a search!

[gregoriodemoncho]

Will do. Thank you again, for posting this.

[gregoriodemoncho]

Thanks again for posting the singer. I got the song.

[curlywolf]

no problem. my wife translated it for me if you want to know what they're saying let me know.
