"Why are there so many female archers in fiction?"
Please forgive the clickbait-y title! This is a super complex and interesting topic that I barely scratch the surface of here, but I hopefully will be able to do more justice to things like this in the future!
Also, it's not the point of the video, but I had fun with the outfits in this- do you have any faves?
As always, please consider supporting me on Patreon if you can, or watching on youtube if not!
Yabusame – Female Horse Archer at Meiji Shrine by Tokyobling's Blog
“This year’s Yabusame at Meiji Shrine was slightly unusual due to the high number of very talented female archers. You could tell from the excited reactions of the audience when they were being introduced that female archers make a wildly popular sport even more popular!”
Yabusame is considered a symbolic event for Kamakura Period during which the first Samurai rule of Shogunate was established in Kamakura. It was also the period known for many female warriors such as Tomoe Gozen and Hojo Masako, known for their horse riding and archery skills.
