Traditional Japanese horseback archery is called “yabusame” （鏑流馬、やぶさめ）. On occasion, one will see it at festivals - it is often held at the castle.
Recovering from the quakes, Aso Shrine is holding its autumn festival, known as “Tanomisai,” (田実祭, たのみさい), and for the first time in three years, yabusame was held. Another sign of quake recovery. Kumanichi has a photo. - William
