The world-first Fiber Grass Reinforced Plastic Kyudo bow , MIYATA

Junji MIyata, the founder of MIYTA Sogyo, co. ltd., created Fiber Glass Reinforced Plastic Kyudo bow, since he needed much better performance of Kyudo bow to compete world-class archery players using Kyudo bow under Archery rule in 1960s. He was delegated to 1967 World Archery Championships in Amersfoort, Netherlands by ALL NIPPON KYUDO FEDERATION as the Kyudo bow player.

Traditionally, Japanese Kyudo bows and arrows are made by Bamboo. In Kyudo, players shoot inside buildings but these bows and arrows have disadvantage in archery since they do not work properly in humid / rainy whether.

Junji Miyata (left end) The Japan Team of 1967 World Archery Championships

Junji Miyata was the only representative player shooting by Kyudo bow. Despite of the disadvantage shooting by Kyudo bow under the Western Archery rule, Junji Miyata placed the 4th in the selection for all-Japan national archery team (1st place among Kyudo player).

Miyata launched Miyata FRP for Kyudo bow after he got back from the championships.

Junji Miyata decided to produce Miyata Kyudo bow for ordinary Kyudo after he returned to Japan, since the FRP kyudo bow has very good potential for kyudo with the high quality for better performance and durability.

Since then, FRP bow has been widely used among Kyudo players all over the world.

Bamboo Style Urushi- Nuriyumi (Shaved style bamboo knot)

bamboo bows that were once made using NIBE (animal-based adhesive) could not be used  in the humid summer months in Japan, since NIBE turns into a gel with moisture.  So Urushi was used to coat Bamboo bows to be more weather resistant.To wrap the entire bow with thread smoothly before coat a bow with Urushi lacquer, joints (knots) of bamboo bows are shaved off, to create a gentle curved surface. 

This style is the typical Urushi Nuri Yumi, and the model of Miyata Urushi  Nuri yumi style. Also, standard color of traditional Urushi nuri yumi is Black Urushi, colored by iron powder.  

Miyata bows is painted with synthetic resin paint, but similar to the original texture of shape and color of traditional Urushi Nuri Yumi.
