yabusame
A type of horseback archery in traditional Japanese archery. An archer on horseback running down a thin long track using a yumi bow to shoot successively at three wooden targets lining up on one side of the track.
An archer in yabusame usually wears traditional attire which includes ayaigasa and igote. They shoot special whistling arrows called Kabura-ya. The arrow can also be fitted with a forked arrowhead.
This tag can also be used even when the archer is not actually on a horse but rather a centaur or horse girl.
