Here at the frontier, the leaves fall like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, and you, you are a thousand miles away, there are still two cups at my table.


Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

8th Dan Kyudo Exam

Below is an excerpt from a documentary on 7th Dan preparing for his 8th Dan exam. Enjoy.
