Archery is one of the oldest forms of martial arts in Japan. Kyudo is now an artistic form of archery and one of the two forms used in Japan. The other form is on horseback and is called Yabusame. Both forms are now open to both men and women who compete as equals.

Throughout Japan noren are used both commercially and for personal homes; but we see them at the doorways of most businesses. Besides looking like curtains, they identify the business by name and sometimes product. I saw this noren in Takayama, which repeats the design of the business throughout the establishment, and was caught by its artistic design and simplicity.
