It was very hot today.
There was Dousun Matsuri (道寸祭り), Dousun festival in Aburatsubo (油壺) today. It is held on last Sunday of May every year, but I had never seen it before. It is the memorial service of a samurai active around this area in the Middle Ages.
Today I went to see a part of the festival, so-called kasagake (笠懸), Japanese mounted archery. It is one of the three martial arts of mounted archery. Others are yabusame (流鏑馬) and inuoimono (犬追物). The archer of kasagake shoots without stopping the horse.
Here is the video. I hope you like it.
