Yabusame costumes and Kimonos

This tradition continues to live in modern Japan, with the grand annual celebration centering on Meiji Jingu, the shrine dedicated to him. Of everybody's interest would be the demonstration of traditional Japanese archery near the shrine's Treasure Museum and the yabusame archery on horseback show in the vicinity of the Shibaike along the shrine's western approach.

Always thank to Japanese making a bow, it is very polite. Also when giving or receiving something, give/receive with both hands and bow again.
