When drawing the bow, silence is etiquette.
Most spectators who appreciate Kyudo understand this.
But that's only part of the reason; more importantly, their attention becomes tense and focused with the archer's pulling of the kake.
They are all watching that sharp arrow to see if it can find the right path.
Step forward, form the stance, ready the bow, lift.
Uesugi Sakura at the lead position calmly raises the longbow, his perfect posture without a single flaw.
His clear and handsome appearance combined with his calm and steady movements made the watching audience's eyes light up.
The slender Japanese bow is raised above the shoulder, the scent of grass lingering in the breath.
Press the arrow, draw one-third.
Both hands evenly pull apart, the force of the string gradually gathering at the green arrow tail, maintaining it briefly before his slender hand swiftly draws the bowstring.
Kai.
