A scene from the documentary, One Shot. One Life. Here is the opening chapter at Enma Dojo which is in the grounds of Engakuji Temple in Kamakura. If there was proof required that Zen and Kyudo are opposite sides of the same coin then Enma dojo would be the evidence. You may notice two bows displayed on the wall of the dojo... they belonged to Eugen Herrigel, author of 'Zen in the Art of Archery'. Beautiful experience to sit among the flowers and listen to bird songs while watching the archery... very meditative. In this setting one can truly ask "Is hitting the target all there is?"....
