Who will be the new Shoguns?
Yabusame is a type of mounted archery in traditional Japanese archery. An archer on a running horse shoots three special "turnip-headed" arrows successively at three wooden targets. This style of archery has its origins at the beginning of the Kamakura period (12th century AD) and was organized as a form of practice of archery skills for samurai. I named this tournament yabusame because I simply like the word.
