How did samurai
fight in those days?

They mainly fought on
horseback using bows
and arrows. They’d ride
toward the enemy,
shoot an arrow as they
passed by, and then ride
off! Since the bow was
held in the left hand,
they guided their horse
to keep the enemy on
their left side for a
better shot.

Wouldn’t it be easier
to just aim for the
horse from the start?

Eek?!

Targeting the horse was,
in truth, against the rules.
So was aiming for the
groom or the boat rower.
But as time passed, more
and more scoundrels
began breaking those
rules. T'is deplorable
indeed…
