Kyudo Association of Canada – Vancouver

KAC Vancouver is a local group which studies the art of Japanese Archery known as Kyudo. In Kyudo, they strive to improve themselves through the act of shooting, while also encompassing all movement and postures in the dojo. KAC Vancouver is a member of the Kyudo Association of Canada which is affiliated with the International Kyudo Federation based in Tokyo, Japan. 

As in past Powell Street Festivals, they will perform a five-person tai-hai accompanied by a narrator describing the performance for the audience. In this performance, each person shoots two arrows. They also will give a demonstration of the makiwara (close target), gomuyumi (practice bow), and sharei (ceremonial shooting) to show the audience other forms of practice. 

KAC(カナダ弓道連盟バンクーバー)は、日本弓道の美を追求します。弓道は、射の動作だけでなく、道場における様々な動き、姿勢、精神状態なども重視します。KACバンクーバーは、東京に拠点を置く国際弓道連盟に所属するカナダ弓道連盟に加盟しています。 

KACバンクーバーは、観客へ実演を説明する解説者とともに、5人組の体配を披露します。この実演では、一人二本の矢を放ちます。また、巻藁(近場の的)、ゴム弓(練習用弓)、射礼(儀式用)の実演を行い、観客にその他の弓道の方法も紹介します。
