Wielded and inspired by the Samurai warrior archers of Japan, the Grayvn Japanese Yumi bow is crafted from Bamboo and hickory in the original design and scaled to 72″. Kyūdō is based on kyūjutsu (“art of archery”), which originated with the samurai class of feudal Japan. Yabusame is the Japanese practice of mounted archery. Traditionally the Yumi bow would have been shot off the hand (uni-grip) as pictured, but we can add an arrow rest to the bow if your prefer.

The bow and arrow have a long history in Japan. The samurai defended the realm of their lord from horseback, with their bow, the Yumi. The legendary skill of the mounted samurai archery was due to hours of practice in which archery became a skill, an art, and a form of religious practice.

 Practice the art of archery like a Samurai with the Grayvn Japanese Yumi!
