blog imageblog imagewould you like to go to 鎌倉Kamakura。

you can enjoy 流鏑馬YABUSAME, the traditional art of shooting arrows from houseback.

It is a contest performed as a attraction during festivals of many Shinto Shrines. The contestants try to shoot at many wooden targets while riding a house. The most traditional example of this houseback archery, with the horsemen dressed in the hunting attire of warriors of the Kamakura period takes place in the precincts of the Hachiman Shrine in Kamakura City.   Let's enjoy Kamakura tour by HISAKO.

Le Yabusame est un art martial traditionnel du Japon où des archers, assis sur un cheval galopant, visent leurs cibles. Ces rencontres se déroulent toujours dans des sanctuaires car elle sont considérées comme des rituels sacrés, réservés aux hommes. Mais ces dernières années, des femmes y participent. Ceci a fait passer le yabusame d’un rituel à un sport et a ouvert la porte à la gent féminine. La ville de Towada à Aomori organise désormais un concours yabusame annuel réservé aux femmes et il attire les foules qui admirent la passion, l’adresse et les costumes traditionnels colorés des archères. Nous suivons ici une jeune fille de 15 ans qui, pour le premier prix, affronte son instructrice chevronnée.
