The aim of this study was to clarify how kyudo was introduced and disseminated in Taiwan during the period of Japanese rule from 1895 to 1945.The first approach in investigating how kyudo began in Taiwan was by analyzing the local newspaper articles published during the period. It was found that the very first “Daikyujo” was established in Taipei in 1896, where kyudo activities first appeared. Some of the “Daikyujo” in this early period were for the purpose of physical exercise and training, while others were similar to “Yabaeigyo”, where the customers were charged to do kyudo as a form of entertainment.Next, understanding how the foundation was laid for the spread of kyudo in Taiwan was conducted by researching the role that the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai (DNBK) and the Dai Nippon Kyudo Kai (DNKK) played at the time. In the Taiwan branch of DNBK, the department of kyujutsu was established at the Taipei Chihou Iinbu (Taipei Regional Committee), which was the predecessor of the Taiwan branch of the DNBK, in 1901. This marked the beginning of kyudo practice on the island. However, the kyujutsu department was transferred out of the DNBK to Taiiku Club in 1903 and was temporarily separated from the DNBK. After the dissolution of Taiiku Club in 1916, it returned to the DNBK. Around the same time, the DNKK established its first branch in Takao (Kaohsiung) in 1915, but local promotion activities only began in earnest from 1924, after the visit of Kako NEYA, the founder of the DNKK. Subsequently, Seiko OIZUMI, a master of the DNKK, was stationed in Taiwan and further promoted the spread of kyudo.Lastly, the geographical locations and establishment timeline of the Kyudo group, mainly established by the DNBK and DNKK in Taiwan over the period of Japanese rule, were analyzed to identify the extent of the spread of kyudo in the region at the time. It was found that Kyudo group was not only established in urban areas on the west coast of the main island, but also on the less populated east coast, central mountainous areas, and remote islands. In particular, the DNKK accounts for 30% of the kyudo groups in total. On the other hand, it was not clear whether the DNBK had successfully spread to those regions. In addition, it was observed that a high concentration of kyudo organizations established in southern Taiwan were affiliated with the sugar industry. Besides the DNBK and DNKK, the Dai Nippon Shakakuin was another kyudo organization that had its branch in Taipei, but its influence was limited.
