Archery at Sanjusangen-do

The best of the best 20-year-olds! These young talents have all (or will soon) turned 20 years old between April and March.
Only the best ones have the right to come and shoot a couple of arrows on this one day.
In 2012, it was held on Sunday January 15; and in 2013 it was held on Sunday January 13.

  • Very crowded!
  • Some had brought small ladders to stand on... until some official person came to tell them not to.
  • Holding the camera high above my head, with a manual-focus-only lens... Although the focus would have been better on the closest participant, I still like this shot because it shows the judges and their system to check the correct target.

  • Intense concentration. This pose goes on for a minute or two. Try it, holding that position for a couple of minutes. Well, that's not the hard part. The hard part is, after that meditation, actually having to strike a 1 meter circular target that is located 60 meters away, with only two tries!
