At Tozando we stock items from carbon fiber and glass fiber yumi bows through to bamboo yumi bows, all suited for intermediate to advanced practitioners. Carbon fiber and glass fiber yumi are durable and easy to handle, making them relatively easy to use and maintain, even for beginners.
While you have to pay particular attention to temperature, humidity, and dryness, bamboo yumi are highly favored by sensei and high-ranking kyudo practitioners. When making your choice, please choose according to the length and strength you are looking for.
