Kyudo Ceremony: Re-opening of IMA Asian Galleries - Indianapolis Museum of Art

[Strawberria]

Does IMA realize that 25 minutes away in Litzon, Indiana there is a Renmei Dojo? Takako Matsui (Swain) Sensei is a 5dan Renshi who's Kyudo is beautiful!

ひどいなこれ

[Peekingduck]

Doesn't look like renmei-kyudo more like some kind of "meigen" ritual. Don't know what ryu-ha. Still, nice to shoot in order to open an even like that. As far as the Japanese making a joke of their culture... I've seen enough gaijin come over and make themselves silly too... there are a 120 some millon Japanese.. which ones are you talking about ? Not a very budo-like manner... sad thanks for the clip

[rich0n3]

it's shinto kyudo, "one life, one arrow", so not federation kyudo.

[ShaktiOscar]

It is the Japanese who are making a joke of their own culture. Kozaka San should learn how to do proper kyudo and the meaning of kai!

[ShanShui]

Who knows? Maybe he's got the flu... I love the vid though.

[thecelloplayer32]

maybe they don't want people to know that was him or maybe its a special mask piece for special stuff like these

[Lightbringer777]

great video, but as the other said, why is he covering his face???

[Alejan2]

Gotta have patience to enjoy this clip(and be insanely interested like me. But why is the kyudoka wearing that veil thingy on his face?
