ya

Ya is the Japanese word for arrow, and commonly refers to the arrows used in kyūdō . Ya also refers to the arrows used by samurai during the feudal era of Japan. Unlike Western arrows, the ya is close to a metre long or longer. Traditional ya are made from natural materials, usually bamboo, while modern ones may use aluminium or carbon fiber.
