Instructors Training, Barnet VTPhoto by Marie-Antoinette Crivelli 
What Is Kyudo?Kyudo is traditional Japanese archery -- the "Zen Art of Archery." At MiyakoKyudojo in the Washington, DC area, Kyudo is not a sport, but a form ofmeditation. Starting with the precision of the movements, peaking with thepower of the arrow's release, and continuing with everyday life, a processunfolds in which the practitioner has the opportunity to see his or her mind,pure and spacious. To practice Kyudo in this way, one must have a good teacher-- a master. Who is our teacher?Kanjuro Shibata,Sensei is such a teacher. Since the early 16th century the Shibatafamily has maintained an unbroken lineage of master archers and bow makersfor the shoguns and warrior families of Japan. In 1877 the 18th Kanjuro Shibatareceived appointment to the post of official Bow Maker and Archer to theEmperor. Since then, the 19th and 20th Shibata lineage holders have continuedto make bows for dignitaries, official functions and for the practice ofKyudo. In 1994, Sensei's son, Nobuhiro Shibata, was recognized as the 21stin the lineage. The 20th Kanjuro Shibata continues as a "Living Treasureof Kyoto," and the head of the Bishu Chikurin-ha branch of the Heki-ryu schoolof Kyudo.In 1980 Kanjuro Shibata (XX) established his first dojo in the west, in Boulder,Colorado (USA). Since then he has expanded to over 30 locations in NorthAmerica and Europe. For a full list, see the Zenko Internationalsite (for Kyudo in North America) and theOko Kyudokaisite (Kyudo in Europe). Open Your Heart With Kyudo!The practice of Kyudo is deceptively simple.
