-- PRESENTATION: MORISHIGE RYŪ HŌJUTSU --
The art of Japanese gunnery appeared after the introduction of firearms by the Portuguese when they first landed in Japan in 1543. Originally, those new weapons were less efficient on the battlefield than the traditional bow, which was superior in terms of precision, shooting speed and range.
It’s during the Sengoku period, with its constant military conflicts, that the “Hojutsu” was created. It consists in the correct handling, aiming and physical training that allows the shooter (“Hoshi”), to control his gun with maximum efficiency.
One of these schools is the Morishige Ryu Hojutsu, founded by Morishige Subeyoshiin the late 18th century.
