Kyudo

[Nanuq]

I wonder if Kyudo, the japanese archery is really so beloved by japanese girls and women. I know some women in Japan and they often do Kyudo.

Is this sport done more by men or by women in Japan?

hmm...i thinks either, because in sum manga books(anime too) both the guy and the girl are doing it, so either, because, if they girl or the guy wasn;t suppoes to be doing it, don'tcha thinks the authors in the manga wouldn't permit it?

if kyudo was kyujutsu. Jutsu is part of bujutsu. Bujutsu is part of a samurai's training. A samurai was upposedly supposed to be male. A=B, B=C, C=D, D=A

Both can practice Kyudo in Japan and elsewhere. There is also a female Kyudo sensei here in my state.
