"Because I believe it is urgently necessary to provide reasoned documentation of 'accurate archery' in response to the rampant prevalence of 'archery that merely hits the target,' I dare to continue presenting the scientific explanations that form the foundation of 'accurate archery.'" — Excerpt from Yoshiyasu Yoshida's "Scientific Study of Japanese Archery."
This book includes the posthumous work of master Yoshiyasu Yoshida, "Scientific Study of Japanese Archery," as well as a collection of essays by his disciples who inherited his teachings. Recommended for archers who want to deepen their understanding of the way of archery.
