Yabusame is a traditional Japanese martial art in which arrows called kaburaya are shot from a galloping horse and hit three targets. It is a sacred ritual for the training of warriors and a ceremony held in front of the gods.
Yabusame (horseback archery), a Shinto ritual, is meant to pray for peace, a good harvest, good health for all people, and healing from illness. If you have a wish, why not visit a shrine and watch horseback archery while wishing for peace in the world and good health for yourself and those close to you?
