A Young Archer’s Debut!

On 16 September 2026, Kiyochika Ogasawara (aged 10), grandson of the current head of the Ogasawara-ryu, made his debut as a mounted archer at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.

Kiyochika began his training at the age of three and has been practising diligently at Shogun Stables on weekends.

His dream is to follow in the footsteps of his father, Kiyomoto Ogasawara.

We are delighted to celebrate this special milestone and look forward to watching him grow!
