Kyudo means the "Way of the Bow". Once considered the highest discipline of ancient Japanese Samurai, the bow lost much of its military importance when firearms were introduced into Japan in the 16th century. Even before this time, Zen Buddhist monks were using the bow as a means of cultivating meditative awareness and as a path of self-realization.

Week before KC 2005
The week before the annual KC workshop some of us volunteered to help clean up the azuchi. For our efforts we got to shoot on a beautiful afternoon. Jack and LJ were wordeful hosts (as usual) and provided us with much appreciated guidance.
