Yabusame – Au galop vers les dieux is a compelling introduction to the traditional Japanese art of Yabusame (horseback archery). Practised within Shinto shrines, this ancient samurai tradition combines speed, precision, and spiritual discipline.
Written by the first French practitioner trained in the prestigious Ogasawara-ryu tradition, the book offers a rare personal insight into this sacred art.
Blending memoir, history, and aesthetic reflection, it presents Yabusame not only as a martial art, but as a spiritual path where each movement becomes an offering.
Accompanied by striking photographs, this elegant work reveals the harmony of body, mind, and tradition.
