HOW TO HANDLE 4
ARROWS (ABBREVIATED EXPLANATION)
1. Lower the bow as you turn to
wakijoumen (place the urahazu on the floor), and place one
pair of the arrows in front of your body (with the arrow points in the center
of the body).
2. Keeping the remaining pair
of arrows in your hand (holding them either by the itsukebushi or by the arrow tips), place your hand on your hip.
3. Raise the bow in the center
of your body so that it is between your body and the arrows, and nock the
arrow.
4. For the next pair of arrows,
take the arrows, (holding them either by the itsukebushi or by the arrow tips), and place your hand on your hip.
5. Raise the bow in the center
of your body and nock the arrow.
