Shaho-hassetsu (ref: http://www.ikyf.org/english/kyudo3.html) The Shahohassetsu is “the process of drawing the Yumi”. “The Hassetsu are not separate from each other, rather are a series of movements that must seem as if flowing consistently from beginning to end.” Shaho “The rules of Shajutsu accompanying the act of taking the Yumiya and performing Sha” 射法八節 (Shahouhassetsu) 一、足踏み Ashibumi Positioning one’s feet at the beginning of the Hassetsu 二、胴造り Douzukuri The second step of Hassetsu, composing the body 三、弓構え Yumigamae The third step of Hassetsu, arranging and readying the Yumiya with both hands 四、打起し Utiokoshi The fourth step of Hassetsu, the first stage of Hikiwake 五、引分け Hikiwake The fifth step of Hassetsu, drawing the Yumi 六、会 Kai The sixth step of Hassetsu, the final posture of Hikiwake 七、離れ Hanare The seventh step of Hassetsu, the moment of Hanare 八、残心(残身) Zanshin The eighth and final step of Hassetsu, the moment after releasing the Ya (vai alla traduzione in italiano) Shaho Kun

ANKF (All Nippon Kyudo Federation) traduzione di Liam O´Brien 1992 Shaho Kun Principles of Shooting by Master Junsei Yoshimi The way is not with the bow, but with the bone, which is of the greatest importance in shooting. Placing spirit (Kokoro) in the center of the whole body, with two thirds of the Yunde (left arm) push the string, and with one third of the Mete (right arm) pull the bow. Spirit settled, this becomes harmonious unity. From the center line of the chest, divide the left and right equally into the release. It is written that the collision of iron and stone will release sudden sparks; and thus there is the golden body, shining white, and the half moon positioned in the west. RAIKI-SHAGI

ANKF (All Nippon Kyudo Federation) traduzione di Liam O´Brien 1992 RAIKI-SHAGI Record of Etiquette - Truth of Shooting The shooting, with the round of moving forward or backward can never be without courtesy and propriety (Rei). After having acquired the right inner intention and correctness in the outward appearance, the bow and arrow can be handled resolutely. To shoot in this way is to perform the shooting with success, and through this shooting virtue will be evident. Kyudo is the way of perfect virtue. In the shooting, one must search for rightness in oneself. With the rightness of self, shooting can be realized. At the time when shooting fails, there should be no resentment towards those who win. On the contrary, this is an occasion to search for oneself. |
