Kyoto Festival: Japanese Mounted Archery at Shimogamo Shrine (Yabusume Shinji) [4K]
Every year in May Kyoto begins to buzz with excitement as the Aoi Matsuri (Hollyhock Festival), one of the three biggest festivals in the city, draws near. Though the festival procession itself falls on the 15th of the month, various rituals and ceremonial preparations begin to take place from the first week of May, drawing thousands of visitors and worshippers from around the country and from abroad. Centered on the Kamo Shrines, Shimogamo Shrine and Kamigamo Shrine, the fesitivites range from sedate purification rituals to high-paced horse races.
On May 3rd at Shimogamo Shrine, one of these prepatory events occurs within the green canapy of the Tadasu no Mori forest leading up to the shrine proper from 1pm. The Yabusame Shinji, or Mounted Archery Ritual, is conducted to pray for the safety of the procession and purify the parade route. Performed by archers of the Ogasawara school, a style that traces its history back about 850 years, riders thunder down a 500m lane firing arrows at three targets along the way. Each time an archer hit the target a cheer springs up from the assembled crowd, and the sound of thundering hoofbeats growing closer and closer let people know something exciting is about to happen. If you're in town for Golden Week or the Aoi Matsuri, be sure not to miss this dynamic ritual and display of martial prowess!

Yabusame, or traditional Japanese mounted archery, is the ritual dating back to 9th century. It is performed to entertain the gods. An archer dressed in a noble costume rides a horse and shoots three arrows successively at three targets. Even today, you can see Yabusame at many places.
Also at Meiji Shrine, the shrine surrounded by 170 thousand trees in central Tokyo, Yabusame ceremony is held as an act of the shrine's annual festival. This year again, the archers wowed not only the gods but also the crowd with their brilliant skills.

Yabusame (Japanese Horseback Archery) at Meiji Shrine on Culture Day 流鏑馬
Yabusame is mounted archery that is both sport (martial arts) and religious ritual. The earliest samurai were mounted archers and Yabusame was a way to keep up their skills. In Shinto, Yabusame is done to entertain the gods in return for blessings or divinations of the future.
November 3rd is a public holiday known as Culture Day (Bunka no Hi) and at Meiji Shrine in Harajuku they do Yabusame where they shoot at hardened paper targets and small clay pots.

Kyoto Event: Takigi Noh at Heian Shrine 2017 [4K]
On June 1st and 2nd, 2017, the 68th Annual Takigi Noh performance took place at Heian Shrine in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. A Fantastic Tour of Kyoto Powerspots was the theme of this year's performance, and through the stately traditional dance and song the audience was transported to famous locations such as Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Nonomiya Shrine, Kurama-dera, and the Kamo Shrines. Get a taste of noh, the oldest style of Japanese theater still practiced today, through selected scenes from the plays Kamo, Tamura, and Shari, performed by the Kanze and Kongō schools of noh, as well as the more comedic kyōgen via Kurama Mairi performed by the Ōkura school.
Takigi Noh is an event not to be missed if you find yourself in Kyoto in June, so make sure to check Discover Kyoto and book your tickets in advance!

Kyoto Festival: Bad Luck Exorcism at Heian Shrine (Setsubun-sai)
Setsubun, the day before spring, is celebrated on February 3rd each year. Heian Shrine is one of many sites in Kyoto that holds an event on this day. The festival begins in the inner sanctum, where priests perform rites. A recreation of the Heian period Daina no Gi ritual is held in the courtyard. This ritual was held at the Imperial Palace to cleanse misfortune. The ritual begins with an invocation before the altars. A warrior fires arrows in the cardinal directions to erect a sacred barrier. Another warrior symbolically cuts bad ties with a sword. Hōsōshi the demon queller leads a procession around the courtyard. Oni (demons/ogres) represent the misfortune people are trying to cleanse. A troupe of oni appear to make an assault on the shrine. At the Daigokuden stage, the oni perform the Oni no Mai dance. Shrine parishioners throw roasted soybeans to chase the oni out. They chant oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi (bad luck out, good luck in). Crowds gather in the hopes of catching a pack of lucky beans. Some people eat the beans or use them at home to celebrate Setsubun. A few local maiko and geiko also help with the mamemaki (bean throwing). The last part of the ceremony is an ohitaki shinji fire ritual. Priests toss hitakigushi (sticks with prayers written on them) into the fire. Priests read a Shinto prayer to conclude the Heian Shrine Setsubun-sai.

Yabusame - Japanese Mounted Archery in Samurai Armor Okunitama Shrine, Fuchu 流鏑馬
Yabusame is a Japanese Archery Ritual on Horseback which is often performed at shrines for blessings. The first samurai were mounted archers more so than swordsmen and Yabusame was a way to keep hone and maintain their skills.
Generally, Yabusame is performed in old hunting clothes but at Okunitama Shrine in Fuchu they do a rare demonstration with some of the participants wearing samurai armor of the type worn from about the mid-Heian to the mid-Muromachi Period (900-1500).

Kyoto Festival: Spring Ogre Purification (Oni Yarai Shinji) [4K]
Setsubun marks the day before spring with various traditions meant to drive away evil spirits/bad luck and cleanse the home and family for the coming year. Shrines and temples around Japan hold special festivals for the public to come together and participate as a community, and several of these festivals are quite famous. One place you can go to take part in Setsubun is Iwashimizu Hachimangū on Mt. Otokoyama in Yawata City just south of Kyoto.
Though Setsubun festivals are commonly held on February 3rd no matter what day of the week the date falls on, Iwashimizu Hachimangū holds their Oni Yarai Shinji (Ogre Banishing Ritual) on the Sunday before in order to allow people of all ages to attend more easily. Held twice on the day at 1pm and then again at 2pm, the Oni Yarai Shinji consists of three main parts: Shinto purification rituals, an attack on the shrine by oni (ogres), and the distribution of fukumame (lucky beans). A procession of shrine priests, priestesses, and related guests make their way to the stage in front of the main sanctuary, where the head priest performs various purification rituals. After using a peach branch bow to symbolically fire arrows in the cardinal direction and this year's lucky direction, as well as a purification with a sword made of peach tree branch, four oni, two green and two red, make an appearance. Growling and intimidating the crowds along the way, the oni make a comic assault on the shrine stage only to be dramatically beaten back by beans thrown at them along with shouts of oni yarō (drive out the ogres!). Once the oni make their retreat, the crowds gather with hands reaching out high in the hopes of catching the packets of lucky beans that are then thrown their way.
In addition to the two Oni Yarai Shinji rituals, packets of fukumame and arrows blessed by miko priestesses performing kagura dances can be purchased throughout the day.
Women Horseback Archers Compete in Yabusame
Yabusame is a traditional Japanese martial art where archers shoot at targets from galloping horses. Performances were always held at shrines and considered to be sacred rituals reserved for men, but in recent years women have begun taking part. This is a result of yabusame’s evolution from ritual to sport, which opened the door to female enthusiasts. Towada City in Aomori now holds an annual, women-only yabusame contest which draws large crowds to enjoy the excitement, skill and colorful traditional costumes of the archers. We follow a 15-year old girl competing against her veteran instructor for the top prize.

Yabusame: Spirit of Samurai 2014 Helsinki, Finland - Samurai Horseback Archery. Enjoy...
Helsinki, Finland June 1, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Yabusame ceremony is one of the oldest and finest Japanese samurai martial arts, and goes back to the Kamakura period (12th-13th centuries). Dressed in traditional samurai outfits, archers from the Ogasawara School shoot special arrows at three targets whilst riding galloping horses. This is the first time the ceremony is being performed in the Nordic countries.

Yabusame - Ratsastavat samurait
Yabusame-seremonia on yksi hienoimmista ja vanhimmista japanilaisista samurai-taistelulajeista, joka on peräisin Kamakura-kaudelta (1100-1200-luvulta). Perinteisiin samuraiasuihin pukeutuneet Ogasawara-koulukunnan jousiampujat ampuvat erikoisnuolensa juoksevan hevosen selästä kolmeen maaliin. Vaativiin ja vauhdikkaisiin suorituksiin liittyy värikäs shintoseremonia. Vastaavanlaista kaksituntista tapahtumaa ei ole aiemmin nähty Pohjoismaissa.
Kasagake Shinji: Japanese Horseback Archery at Kamigamo Shrine
Performed at Kamigamo Shrine in October, Kasagake Archery is one of the three original styles of archery performed for the entertainment of shrine deities in Japan. The nature of the shooting at this event harkens back to the practice drills performed by archers in the days of Japan’s warring period, recreated today as part of a religious offering. This ritual is performed by participants from the Takeda-ryu school of mounted archery, which has a long and interesting history. As opposed to the more commonly performed yabusame ritual where the archers shoot only at one fixed target, the archers at this event take aim at five targets- three at shoulder-height and two closer to the ground to simulate more realistic military maneuvers on the battlefield. Scores and hits are announced after each run, and riders with the highest score advance to the second round, where the targets shrink in size until a winner is crowned. Watching the riders race down the trail while drawing back their arrows before letting them fly was exhilarating, especially when they found their mark! Take a look for yourself and marvel at the beauty of the horses and riders at Kamigamo Shrine’s Kasagake Shinji!

Samurai Archery - Yabusame in Nikko (Japanese Horseback Archery)
Yabusame is Japanese horseback archery, a tradition that goes back well over 1000 years. The first samurai referred to their profession as The Way of the Horse and Bow - the sword as a principle weapon coming much much later.
This Yabusame event took place in Nikko which is 2 hours north of Tokyo. It's the resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), the first shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1867). The Ogasawara Ryu (school of archery) conducted the event. They do Yabusame there in May and October.
