Hey, what days where you there in November? It still looked quite green and not yet peak autumn 😢
@tylerthomas5414Ай бұрын
Yeah, it was the 2nd and 3rd week of November. The leaves are very different across Japan, so not all leaves turn at the same time since the climates vary. If you watch one of our other videos about Mt. Fuji/samurai experience, the leaves there are VERY red.

@@froggie895 the problem is you’re confusing “geisha” and English word that describes the whole experience, and “geiko” the specific type of experienced geisha. The makeup you’re seeing in the video is a combination of both, some maiko, and some geiko, and really doesn’t accurately reflect either one specifically. Someone speaking English and referring to it as a geisha experience would be totally appropriate and it’s really only relevant to correct them if they’re calling a maiko “geiko.”
@froggie895Ай бұрын
@tylerthomas5414 the woman in the video dressed and put makeup on similar to how a maiko does therefore she was using the wrong terms and I correct it. Geisha is used in some places in Japan Geiko is usually Kyotos way of saying it

“Tourists are being banned from entering certain alleys in Gion, the famous geisha district in Kyoto, with Aussie travellers warned to take note. Local residents had become fed-up with hordes of tourists, saying their neighbourhood “is not a theme park,” pleading with the city to take action” posted April 5, 2024
@brian07034 ай бұрын
That’s a little misleading. The residents have complained about over tourism for decades. The new law restricting tourists from entering certain neighborhoods has more to do with recent tourist’s behavior towards the maiko & geiko.
@tylerthomas54144 ай бұрын
The Japanese people put on tours of the district, so implying they all want tourists to leave would be hard to believe. I think Brian is right, it’s more because of tourist behavior towards the maiko and geiko while they’re working

Beginner in Kyudo To non-Japanese people, Kyudo, Japanese archery with an overly long, asymmetrical bow and arrows over a meter long, is initially quite foreign due to its appearance. This type of archery is often quickly reduced to a “slightly different” type of sport archery because as a non-Japanese you have not yet been touched by Shintoism or Zen Buddhism. But these are essential elements of Kyudo in Japan! Therefore, it must be noted that almost all non-Japanese initially completely misunderstand the essence of Kyudo! Kyudo has its origins in martial archery (Kyujutsu -> archery technique), in which a missed shot meant certain death. Kyudo also has its origins in Shintoism, in which the bow can be understood as (greatly simplified) a connecting link between earth, man and heaven. And Kyudo also has a connection to Zen Buddhism, in which the current action must take place in the correct way at the right moment with the practitioner's full concentration. Some therefore understand Kyudo as Zen in movement. Old, traditional movements at court are responsible for the slow form when walking, standing, kneeling... Today Kyudo is available as a compulsory subject at universities, as a sport-based competition, as a leisure activity for senior citizens... and as a strictly regulated form within the framework of the Japanese umbrella organization ANKF and the global IKYF. In addition, many providers are more interested in the commercial offer of Kyudo as an offer for esoteric groups or managers - and earn quite a lot in the process! The beginner should think about what he wants! There is absolutely nothing to be said against an archer who already shoots other bows wanting to shoot with the Japanese longbow because he expects his range of motion to be expanded. But that's not Kyudo yet! This is “just” shooting with a special type of longbow. From this perspective in particular, it is absolutely necessary to seek out an expert to help you learn the technically completely different shooting technique with the Japanese longbow. A DIY beginner makes it difficult for himself and will usually fail! Even when choosing a bow, beginners far too often choose bows that are too difficult to draw. Even experienced shooters with a 40lb recurve bow (18kg) should start with a no stronger Yumi of 12kg because the existing muscle mass does not correspond to the muscle area required in Kyudo and the Kyudon newbie will resort to the existing but “wrong” muscles. This doesn't last long. The bow and arrow must suit the shooter and his current shooting technique. Only a teacher can judge that. Beginner mistakes are difficult to correct later. Therefore: 1) Find a Kyudo teacher! If you can't find one, wait. 2) Complete at least a three-month induction. 3) Do not purchase materials independently without asking the teacher first. I do kyudo more than 25 years...
