Kyudo is traditional Japanese archery the "Zen Art of Archery." At Miyako Kyudojo in the Washington, DC area, Kyudo is not a sport, but a form of meditation. Starting with the precision of the movements, peaking with the power of the arrow's release, and continuing with everyday life, a process unfolds in which the practitioner has the opportunity to see his or her mind, pure and spacious. To practice Kyudo in this way, one must have a good teacher a master. Who is our teacher? Kanjuro Shibata, Sensei is such a teacher. Since the early 16th century the Shibata family has maintained an unbroken lineage of master archers and bow makers for the shoguns and warrior families of Japan. In 1877 the 18th Kanjuro Shibata received appointment to the post of official Bow Maker and Archer to the Emperor. Since then, the 19th and 20th Shibata lineage holders have continued to make bows for dignitaries, official functions and for the practice of Kyudo. In 1994, Sensei's son, Nobuhiro Shibata, was recognized as the 21st in the lineage. The 20th Kanjuro Shibata continues as a "Living Treasure of Kyoto," and the head of the Bishu Chikurin-ha branch of the Heki-ryu school of Kyudo. In 1980 Kanjuro Shibata (XX) established his first dojo in the west, in Boulder, Colorado (USA). Since then he has expanded to over 30 locations in North America and Europe. For a full list, see the

In kyūdō the kyūjūtsushi (archer) uses a traditional asymmetrical bow about 7.5 feet (2.3 m) long with a grip about one-third of the distance from the bottom. The bow is composite, made of strips of bamboo and mulberry and strung with hemp. The archer employs an Oriental, or Mongolian, grip, holding the string with the thumb supported by the fingers, and wears a special glove with a thumb reinforced by bone or wood. In the apparently continuous movements leading to the release of the arrow, there are eight recognized stages, each of which must be learned and practiced until the archer can move through them smoothly. There are many kyūdō schools in Japan, and tournaments are held annually in Kyōto and Tokyo.

Seishinkan Kyudojo Dojo: 1455 64th Street, Emeryville, CA 94608 Kyudo Links The Principles of Training (Book) Kokoro No Yoi (tanslation) KYUDO - THE WAY OF THE BOW K yudo, the Way of the Bow, is one of Japan's oldest and most honored martial traditions. Over the course of Japanese history and under the influence of Shinto beliefs, Confucian morality, and Buddhist philosophy (including, but not limited to, Zen), the technique of archery flowered into the art of kyudo, where archery is practiced as a Way of seishin tanren , or "spiritual forging." The diligent practice of kyudo provides both healthful exercise and a way for cultivating self-awareness and spiritual maturity, eventually leading to the realization of "Shin Zen Bi", or "Truth, Goodness and Beauty" in the life of the archer. These qualities make kyudo an ideal way for modern people to maintain their physical and spiritual health and composure in an increasingly hectic world. Today, kyudo is practiced worldwide by more than half a million people. Kyudo classes are held under the guidance of Mr. Earl Hartman, who holds a 5th degree rank
