Japanese Yumi arrow

(1/2) > >>

markinengland:
I thought I would post some pics of a Yumi arrow a friend brought me back from Japan.
The arrow is of course bamboo, with a steel or iron target point, red silk bindings, three eagle feather fletchings and an ivory nock.
The arrow is 37.25 inches long, 5/16ths diameter with no discernible taper. There are four nodes within the arrow length. The feltchings are 6 inches long and 7/16th high. Though old the shaft is perfectly straight. It has been heat treated to an even coffee with a dash of cream brown colour. I have not weighed it yet but it feels light.
Anyway here are some pictures.
