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.
