Synopsis

After the great World Wars, a portion of the world has slipped away into ruin. While some societies are still at war, Japan and America - among many multiple other nations - settled into a harmonious peace.
The Interwebs created by America's Muskian Corps has spread worldwide, further stabilizing the harmony among nations, the only drawback being loss of individuality, drive for activities, and even life outside of the Interwebs. This story is about the reclamation of the lost art of archery: a historical staple of Japanese culture. The Japanese culture of archery was long safe guarded by the Aragonian clan, however, even they have seemingly lost the way of the bow. Can archery and the benefits and lifestyles it encourages make a comeback in a world that discourages weapons and encourages a concentration on virtual lifestyle?

Synopsis:
The bow and arrow once revolutionized the art of war, but throughout time, it had slipped out of usage for modern warfare. Even so it had a purpose in society. For some, it provided a hunting tool; others it provided a challenge. Some groups of people even called it an art/passion. Finally, some treated archery as a way of life and philosophy as mastering the bow helped them master/grow in other ways of their life. This story is intended to touch on the rediscovery of each of those things as they had been lost to a world of technology and a harmonic future that seemed to have displaced archery. This is a adventure/slice-of-life journey of how archery is rediscovered and used to strengthen the harmony that is brought about in this futuristic world.
