A project to improve the quality of Polish kyudo instructors

Four Polish instructors in kyudo—Japanese archery—visited Japan for three weeks. Their intention was to improve their skills and knowledge with the guidance of Japanese instructors, and on returning to Poland to help to improve the quality of kyudo instruction, and to convey its appeal. They visited four kyudo dojos while in Japan, and once back home held two seminars to share the knowledge and materials they had received.
