Overview
Yabusame is a traditional Japanese form of archery in which archers shoot arrows at targets while galloping on horseback. In northern Japan, 20-year-old Fuse Aoi is creating a buzz as one of Japan's top horseback archers. She has been riding her beloved horse, Spade, since she was 8 years old, and has clinched 5 high-level back-to-back victories at a large-scale local event which takes place in spring. Smilingly, Aoi says there is no better man than Spade. We follow this skilled and dashing young woman as she prepares for an autumn competition along with her beloved horse.
