Takeda School of Mounted Archery[edit]

There needs to be an article or section. Chris 02:46, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Locations[edit]

These sentences should be re-written and merged, but I'd need some facts first. Nowadays, yabusame is performed at the Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine in Kamakura. It is also performed in Samukawa and on the beach at Zushi, as well as other locations. It's also held twice a year at Toshogu in Nikko on festival days, and I soon found a few other locations with Google. Would it be preferable to list locations and dates of their yabusame demos, as this sort of information is what visitors to japan would like to know yet find hard to get? Is the Kamakura one special for some reason- largest, most popular, most famous? DrHacky 01:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Track length[edit]

The article gives the length of the track as 225m, and a previous edit had 208m. This site (http://eos.kokugakuin.ac.jp/modules/xwords/entry.php?entryID=1030) says 218m (=2 cho), while this blog (http://pacific-islander.blogspot.com/2007/05/yabusame.html) says 240m. Is there supposed to be a standard length, or is it more dictated by the space available at each shrine?DrHacky 01:37, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Martial art or technique?[edit]

Would yabusame be best classified as a "type" of martial art, such as jujutsu, iaijutsu, hojojutsu, tessenjutsu, etc..., or more as a specific practice within the martial art of archery (kyujutsu or kyudo)? I'm asking because I'd like to add an infobox to this article, and I need to choose between
