Kyudo : the way of the bow21st - July 29th, 2008with Kanjuro Shibata Sensei
Kyudo, "the way of the bow", is a living tradition of meditative archery, rooted in the warrior traditions of Japan. The Samuraï considered Kyudo the perfect mastery of the bow, and an art form with no other goal than the highest experience of here and now - beyond any strategies of thought and concept. The ultimate goal of Kyudo is to polish one's mind and awaken the natural dignity of being human. This programme is open to both beginners and experienced students. Equipment is provided. About Kanjuro Shibata SenseiKanjuro Shibata Sensei XX is one of the last living Kyudo masters of his generation. He was the bow maker to the Japanese emperor. In 1980, he first began to teach Kyudo in the west on invitation of the late Chögyam Trungpa.
