 How to pull out a Ya.


What to prepare.

Ya and Mato
Towel



What is important when pulling out a Ya.

Sit facing the target.

Sonkyo to the target.
It is not enough to stand and bend over .
Be sure to do Sonkyo (sit).
If you stand up and pull out the Ya, it will bend or break.


The order in which the Ya are removed.
The first Ya to be pulled out is the one that has not hit the Mato.


When pulling out the Ya, use your left hand to ease the strain on the Ya.
If you pull out the Ya with one hand, please do so carefully as it may damage the Ya.


Remove the Ya from the Mato.
The Ya is pulled out while holding the Mato.


Pull out the Ya, taking care not to damage it.
Some people do not pull the Ya out carefully when they get used to it.
Even if you are used to Kyudo, please use your tools carefully.


After removing the arrow, wrap the Yajiri in a towel.
This is to carry the Ya safely.
If you do not wrap your Ya, they may hit someone and injure them.


Wrap up your Yajiri when you move.
This way, you won't drop it and hurt your Ya or hit someone.


You should also sit down to remove any dirt from the Ya.

The place where the dirt is dropped varies from dojo to dojo.


When putting away Ya, do not drop them, but put them in slowly.
