KANJIRO SHIBATA SENSEI XXI 2025


  • Kyudo Boston – Showa Institute 1950 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA, 02140 United States (map)

Kyudo Assembly with Kanjuro Shibata XXI Sensei

After the retirement of Shibata Sendai XX in October 2011, his adopted son, Shibata Kanjuro XXI, was recognized as the 21st in the Shibata Lineage and assumed the duties of Imperial Bow Maker to the Emperor of Japan. Sensei lives in Kyoto, Japan where he has operated a yumi or bow-making workshop for over two decades.

This year Kyudo Boston will be hosting the Kyudo Assembly with Kanjuro Shibata XXI Sensei. Along with practical instruction, Sensei will share his extensive knowledge of yumi care and construction.

Anyone interested in ordering a yumi from Sensei, please contact Lucy Halverson at Kyudoka52@gmail.com
