弓師と外国人弓道家との出会い Part2 kyudo 

だとしても、体は俺の方が日本人体型してるけどな

奥様と知り合いだったのですが、奥様を亡くされて暫くしてでしたものね。

そうだったんですね。 私自身、高校時代に参段認可され、その後長いブランクに入っています。 オブライエン先生に、お会いしたかったです。

そうして引き合いに出して貶すのが本当に不快 インターネットは公共の場です 弁えてください

後ろ姿的にたぶん江郷先生だと思います。この人ですら落ちる8段審査はやはりとてつもないですね…

3:21 皆さんこっちです

１０段の師範お会いしたこと有りますよ(• ▽ •;)とってもオチャメな方でした。所作が自然でした。地域によっては師範の多いとことかは８段９段いらっしゃいますね。死ぬまでに自分がどこまでのぼれるか……なんか、徳をつむ感じですね

@@user-m-c3l うわぁその考え方すこ

@@user-kv3yr8ph7o なんか、弓引いてる時って、座禅組んでる感じで(本格的に組んだ事ないけど…)集中してるけど、自然に溶け込んで一部になってる感じで、佛壇の前でお経あげるのにもにてるような……。試験も有段者になると作文みたいなの書いたり、称号者は論文書いたりするからね。自分の内側を見つめていくのが、それに似てるかなぁと（笑）当てたいっていう煩悩を消して、中ってるていう結果がついてくるとことか

多分あり得ますね。残念ですが…個人の意見なので悪しからず。

八段合格の条件にある「無心」これはマジで無理。でも近年四段でも合格者無しがあるから驚きだわ

今普通に見れたぞ

それは「弓術」です

武道と武術を一緒にしては行けないよ

どん西郷 はい？

武道も武術から派生したものだからそういうのが残ってるってこともあるんじゃないかなと言っているのでは？

@@Hatomaru-l5s 茶道もそうだけど、弓道は弓術と異なって「道」。 己を磨き高めて精神を統一するもので、弓術と根本的な考えが異なる。 中るのも重要ではあるけど、射法八節という一つ一つの型を綺麗に取る事が昇段試験では非常に重要となる。 この人の場合は離が雑なのと、手の内のつのみが入りきってないから矢が真っ直ぐ飛んでない。 弓を持っている右手。弓手で狙っている節があるから落ちたんだろうね。

Everybody shoots the same way. As a very left-handed person I was a little bit worried, but after the very first training I found out it doesn't matter at all if you do it the "right" way from the beginning.

@@leeuw16 Thank you for you request.

そうですか？楽しんで弓引けたのだから良かったと思いますが。

Here is the translation for this film, requested by Ton Magielsen about one year ago. O'brien-san's Japanese language is simply terrific and their friendship is awesome: O’brien-san wrote down what was taught word by word on the notebook. The pressure that even only a minor mistake cannot be allowed for the “hachidan” (8th grade level) examination of Kyudo..... That is the mistake that (he) does not usually makes. When he came back to a hotel, he stayed up late to review what was taught in the training. He has taken the “hachidan” (8th grade level) examination twice so far; however, he could not pull the string (of the bow) with the spirit of emptiness, since he was paying attention to the target too much. This is the third time “hachidan” (8th grade level) examination in which his mind would be tested. On May 4, it rained cats and dogs from morning in Kyoto. “Kyoto-Gyoen” is the venue for the “hachidan” (8th grade level) examination. He enters the venue place two hours before the examination starts. He repeatedly images when he releases the arrow with the “Higosaburo (tailor-made bow in question)” in his hands. The examination starts on 10 a.m. The style of examination is 5 people/team. The order of the examination will be decided according to how shortly the candidates has held the “shichichidan” (7th grade level). It takes 12 minutes from entry to exit. The number of arrows given is only two. That of examiners is five, selected by the archers who have reached the top. You cannot hold the “hachidan” (8th grade level), unless three examiners of those judge that s/he passes. O’brien-san’s number is 39. He was seated without words in the waiting area and zeroed in on one point. He stroked down the “Higosaburo” with affection and went to the examination room. O’brien-san’s examination started on 11:27 a.m. Matsunaga-san watches over the scene from one of the spectators’ seats. The two arrows O’brien-san released penetrated close to the center of the target. That was the twelve minutes when he has kept fighting against his mind. Matsunaga-san came to the waiting area. He looks for O’brien-san. O’brien-san is cautiously polishing the “Higosaburo”. Matsunaga-san did not address O’brien-san for a while. (Matsunaga-san: How was it? O'brien-san: Well, I did my best. I guess I made a less “Yurumi (loosen)” release this time than yesterday”. I appreciate it.) Matsunaga-san: I hoped that he would do his best as if the bow and the human became one. That’s the only wish I have made. Looks like the burden on shoulder was lifted off. That was very good. O’brien-san: As I said, competition or examination, or any kind of condition where you will be examined or tested, Ah, it’s not thinking about the result, Ah, but the same time, do your very best. In this kind of real situation, Ah, to keep “Heijo-shin (presence of mind) ” is a real test. And Ah, so, I enjoyed having that opportunity to test myself. And I think that Kyudo is the very important to think. On 5 p.m., the result was posted. The number of those who tried the top of Kyudo is 162. A person who held the “hachidan” (8th grade level) was none. Eight days later, Matsunaga-san received a letter from O’brien-san. (Quotes) Dear Matsunaga, Shigemasa-sensei; After I finished the “hachidan” (8th grade level) examination when heavy “samidare (May)” rain fell, I was on my way home. I am fledged and need more and more discipline. I will get close to the in-depth Kyudo by accumulating more discipline and will do my best to make a self-cultivation. I am looking forward to seeing “sensei” again. With gratitude and respect. Liam O’brien (End of Quotes) The letter from O'brien-san who is accumulating discipline remotely separated..... Matsunaga-san is making one bow to another to live up to the expectation. (Matsunaga-san: As long as I am a human, I could not be complete in 100%; so, I guess that archers, who pull the string of bow, will think the same way. It is also an attractive point for discipline, isn't it? We can never reach it, and that's the beauty of bow, pursuing one by one. Bow maker, Matsunaga-san, and archer, Liam O'brien-san, face a bow putting their mind together.....

@@yohkohyumoto4783 Your translation is well appreciated. Thank you.

厳しいですよね。その厳しさの中で己を見詰めるのが弓道の精神ではないんでしょうか？ 技術ではなく心の在り方を見てるように感じました。

俺の腹も三段だぞ

@@user-on6if7dc4c 皮肉で言っているのだと思いますよ。

プロでもミスすることはあるから、なんとも言えんよね、でも段を上げるには当たらないといけないし姿勢も完璧でないとダメだからそこら辺の判定は難しいものがありますな

RU-vid運営 正射必中という言葉とそれの意味をご存知だろうか

特権階級って言い方は違うんじゃないかな？

まあ、正射必中だから、結果的に中るんですがね。ついつい中てようとしちゃいますよね、精進ー
