Tsurune Archery Classroom

So KyoAni has posted a Q&A with trivia about Japanese archery to the official Twitter account of the Tsurune anime in order to promote the movie, and I took the liberty to translate it. Please feel free to message me about possible corrections.

Q.: What is “tsurune”?

Narumiya Minato (CV. Uemura Yuuto): It’s the sound that the string makes as it hits the bow when an arrow is released. Even if it’s the same person shooting, the sound changes depending on their feelings and the situation at hand. The more skilled a person is, the cooler a sound they can produce.

Q.: What’s “target panic”?

Takehaya Seiya (CV. Ichikawa Aoi): Also called “archer’s disorder”, it’s the tendency of one’s hand to release the arrow on its own by accident when they’re holding the bow into position. It’s quite a problematic habit, and in Minato’s case… well, in the end, he has no choice but to fix it himself, so there’s nothing I can say to support him.

Q.: Is it best if the arrow hits the center of the target?

Yamanouchi Ryouhei (CV. Suzuki Ryouta): Even if it’s not in the center of the target, once it hits, you get a point! But it’s because the shooting posture is disturbed that it won’t hit the center, so it’s said that you can’t consider it a “good shot” just for hitting the target. There’s a lot to Japanese archery~!

Q.: How far is the target positioned?

Kisaragi Nanao (CV. Yano Shougo): 28 meters for close-distance targets! As for the reason behind such an odd number, it’s said that, in the past, back when bows were used as weapons, this would’ve been the distance between your party and the enemy party. Well, the theories vary, though!

Q.: What are you forbidden to do in an archery dojo?

Onogi Kaito (CV. Ishikawa Kaito): An archery dojo is a place for “training”. There’s lots of rules and detailed etiquette in order to maintain safety. For example, it’s outrageous to enter with shoes on!

Q.: What’s the “Shahou Hassetsu”?

Takigawa Masaki (CV. Asanuma Shintarou): Hard to explain what it is in one sentence, but well, I guess one should keep in mind, first of all, that it refers to the sequence of movements we have to perform from the moment we position our bows till we release the arrows. That’s the foundation of Japanese archery, which was created and polished by our predecessors, so it’s the most important of all.

Q.: Are the arrows different for each person?

Minato: People pick their archery equipment in accordance to their height, physique and skill. I use aluminum arrows but Masa-san uses bamboo arrows. There are many other types of arrows, even ones with actual black eager feathers on them.

Q.: What’s a “team competition”?

Seiya: It’s a match where a certain number of people lines up and draws the bow to compete against the same number of people.

For five-people teams, we call the first person the “oomae”, the second, “niteki”, the third, “naka”, the fourth, “yonteki” and the last, “ochi”. The names differ depending on the place and school, though.

Each of us has a role, so we do our best together in aiming for the best shots.

Q.: What are the “ranks” and “dan” titles of Japanese archery?

Fujiwara Shuu (CV. Ono Kenshou): I guess they’re something like a classification of the abilities related to Japanese archery that you can get through an examination. There are three titles - Renshi, Kyoushi and Hanshi - and mine and Minato’s mentor, Saionji-sensei, holds the title of “seventh-dan Kyoushi”.

Q.: What’s “Princess Cheer”?

Sase Daigo (CV. Miyazaki Yuu): It’s a very popular five-people idol group! Above all, the center, Noririn, has an exceptional sense for everything, like dancing, singing and talking, so she’s been shining ever since her debut - actually, she’s been shining even back when she was an indie artist and lighting up the way for me… She’s a very popular idol but only with the people who know about her at the moment, yet there’s something to keep an eye for in the way she improves her skills without sparing any efforts and I’ve been encouraged by that many times, so I don’t know how many times I’ve thought things like “I’m glad I met Noririn” or “I’m glad Noririn decided to become an idol”! No matter how many hundreds of people she shakes hands with at meet-and-greets, she never shows any signs of being tired, and even if you go back into the line over and over again, Noririn welcomes you with her smile unchanged!!!!

Q.: How do you cheer during a match?

Nanao: If it’s baseball, people will shout things like, “Go for it!”, but in Japanese archery, cheering aloud is generally not good. Archery matches aren’t just about winning or losing, that’s why. When you hit the target, the people sitting on the stands will say, “Good one!”. Unique, ain’t it?

Q.: What’s a “kaichuu”?

Minato: It’s when all of your arrows hit the target. It’s not an easy feat to pull, so when someone manages to achieve a kaichuu, the viewers will show respect by applauding them.

Q.: What does “shoot correctly, hit correctly” mean?

Masaki: That’s a difficult question. It means that “a correct shot is sure to hit the target”, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. It’s a story with no end, which begins when you mature as an archer and perform “correct shooting” for the first time.

Well, that’s what mastering archery is about. We’ve got no choice but to keep studying hard every day, so let’s do our best, yeah?

Sevah'wo Kummekihn

Sevah'wo Kummekihn is a cheerful and energetic Miqo'te lad with striking mismatched eyes, who's not shy about voicing his aspirations to fame and fortune. He seems free (read: careless) with his personal information, and gives off every impression of being a bit airheaded--or at least highly distractable. Still, he's about as good at listening as he is at talking, and has his twitchy little ears aimed at all the gossip circulating the Carline Canopy, Drowning Wench, and the entirety of Ul'dah. It's easy to think all he's good for is gossiping or writing mediocre poetry, as a would-be bard, but the twin blades he wears at his hip sometimes might tell a different story...

Nickname(s): Sev, Scatterbrain Sev, Lucky Seven

Pronouns: he/him

Nameday: The 7th Sun of the 4th Astral Moon

Grand Company: ???

Likes: money, fashion, reading, fish, socializing, naps

Dislikes: getting dirty, food that's too hot or too cold

Hobbies: fishing, seeking rumors

Special talent: He has a knack for picking up most new skills with very little practice. That said, everything he should have natural aptitude for seems to be difficult, or backfires regularly on him.

CV: 福山潤 (Fukuyama Jun)

Lore below the cut (may contain FFXIV spoilers):

Sev can often be found perched in trees or atop buildings, penning poems or people-watching.

One might think that, as an archer, he's just trying to maintain an advantageous height for sniping. Any of the wood-wailers will scoff at those who suggest it, though, since many of them bore witness to him trying to fire from a tree and subsequently falling out of it, only to end up chased by the stag he was hunting.

The only ones who yet suspect that to be a false impression of clumsiness are his mates in the rogues' guild, and even then only a few.

Moonlighting with them as Lucky Seven, he behaves so differently that most people who know about him think Lucky Seven is actually Sevah'wo's identical twin. Perhaps that's more accurate speculation than anyone realizes…

elan butler as lieutenant robert j. shoens (as pictured, shoens eventually becomes a captain, tho butler’s cv has him down as a lieutenant)

james bamford as staff sergeant edward (edmund?) a. musante (i might be going a little crazy, but i think his name is wrong on many websites! he’s edward on the official 100th bg website and on bamford’s cv, but he’s edmund on the american air museum website and findagrave. for all i know, the guy probably went by “eddie” or “ed” and somewhere along the line, someone made a recordkeeping mistake. and, yes. that is the clearest verifiable photo i could find of him. squint, and you might trick yourself into seeing his face)

bradley banton as lieutenant colonel lee “buddy” archer (another tuskegee airman!)

there’s also cameron jack as “jack”, david austin-barnes as “jimmy”, kojo quainoo as a weather officer, david angland as a prisoner of war, martin bassindale as a recent arrival kriegie, and eric sirakian as “thorpe abbot” which is confusing because that is the name of a Place, not a Person.

Motosacoche ca. 1926 2 ½ CV Super Sport Type 207 “Franconi” 248 cc OHV single frame # 2322 engine # 1C10G No 68972

The 1926 Motosacoche range included machines from 250 till 1000cc. The 64 x 77 bore x stroke 207 was the lightest model in the range but by no means the least powerful: it was faster than the 350 cc IOE single and almost as fast as the 500 cc IOE twin.

It had a special engine from which the top half was converted to full overhead valve construction. Noticeable in this construction was that the pushrods had a cross-action and that the inlet channel was facing downward, suggesting that the cylinder head was a development from the V-twin OHV racer. The valves had double springs to counteract possible valve float at high engine revolutions. The “Franconi” label given to these models refers to the famous Swiss racer Francesco Franconi, who seems to have been involved in the development of these fast singles.

The 207 was fitted with various quality British components such as Brampton-type front forks, Amac carburettor, Best&Lloyd mechanical oil pump and 3- speed Sturmey Archer hand-change gearbox.

The spark comes from a Magneto France and the tyres are 26×3 Dunlops. The light and agile machine is a rare survivor, only a limited number of these semi-racers have been produced.

This authentic 207 proudly shows its age and is in technically fine condition

i fell in love with so much music while working retail. like yeah i know a lot of workers hate the music and i get why, it's shitty quality and they play the same music over and over again.

but for me, i hadn't really been able to enjoy music from when i dropped out of college until i worked at cvs, so a good couple years. and music was previously a MASSIVE part of my life. good music was like stars behind my eyes, i'm not even exaggerating. but because of depression and trauma, i lost all interest in this thing that connected me to a better time in my life - until i started working retail a few years later, and then it became a distraction from the shitty customers and shittier policies, the stress of my mental illness and poorly treated adhd.

and that was when i first connected with a bunch of artists i hadn't really ever related to - one of whom was taylor swift. it wasn't so much that i related to high school romances at 23, but i remembered them - how so much of my love life was one-sided, or poorly timed, or just young and foolish. and there was so much healing i had to do for my inner teen cait, healing i'm still doing years later. and that music, all of that music that played in that garbage fire cvs, corporate pharmacy hell though it was, helped me begin to heal.

i would dance around that store that i felt such complicated feelings about (resentment because i was never good enough but fierce loyalty to the people i worked with) to love story and fifteen and i knew you were trouble and mine and so many others, and then later i couldn't stop listening to 1989, and all along the way, even after i ~left cvs~ i had friends who loved taylor from the time they were kids and never, ever treated me like i was a fake fan or some shit because i didn't know all the songs she ever wrote or that i came to it late.

and later, my friends at my waxing job and i squealed over lover, and the archer meant a lot to me as a sagittarius ofc, and then quarantine hit and nothing hit me like folklore/evermore did.

before then i had some lovely people try to reach me - emily/@grantairely im looking at you girl - but i was just So Not Ready to be a good friend to anyone.

so i have to be honest. even though i didn't grow up a taylor swift fan, i still had an emotional response to hearing her new recording of love story, and isn't that a good thing? artists don't speak to everyone at the same time.

have you ever read a book as a kid in school and not liked it, and then gone back as an adult and seen all kinds of new things in it?

and i think since taylor's story seems to be about growth, that's not out of step with her vibe.

(shout out to stevie wonder for being one of the other artists who helped me survive over four years of retail pharmacy hell)

#its just a thought #taylor swift #love story #worbs #swifties #essays
