I returned once again to witness the powerful beauty of Yabusame, Japan’s sacred horseback archery ceremony — this time at Ōkunitama Shrine (大國魂神社) in Fuchū-Honmachi, Tokyo. 🏹 This traditional ritual began over 1,400 years ago as a way to pray for peace, a good harvest, and victory in battle. Riders gallop at full speed while shooting arrows at targets, offering their skill as a form of devotion.
🕊️ This video features:
– The ceremonial procession
– A unique intermission of three female riders holding large fans
– A slow-paced riding scene (narashi-uma), where horses are gently introduced to the path
– The powerful arrow shots of the main event
🎵 Music:
– “Koto San” by Ofshane (YouTube Audio Library)
– “In the Temple Garden” by Aaron Kenny (YouTube Audio Library)
🎙️ Historical narration by the event MC (with English subtitles)
This is my second Yabusame video — the first was filmed in Hachioji in 2024. Each one reveals something deeper. I hope you feel the spirit in motion. #japan #traditional #festival #流鏑馬
