Kyudo club in TUAT and TUAT Buddy (the group supports internatinal students in TUAT) held this event for AIMS and STEP internatinal students in TUAT.
The internatinal students experienced kyudo (Japanese art of archery) and learn deep Japanese culture.
We did following activities.
0. Yawatashi (矢渡し): It is one of the demonstration of kyudo which is often done when event get starts.
1. Tasting Japanese bow: They can draw Japanese bow in free style.
2. Lecture(introduction): We told them concept of martial arts and kyudo based on 教本(text book of kyudo). We compare kyudo and sports especially western archery.
3. Mimicry: We taught the international student how to draw in Japanese style(射法八節 shahohassetsu). They practiced mimic Japanese drawing style without bow and arrows.
4. Gum training: They practiced drawing Japanese style with gum. They got know it is hard to draw in right form under the gum’s force.
5. Using bow: You practiced drawing with Japanese bow in Japanese style (without arrows).
