An azusa yumi (梓弓) is a sacred bow (yumi) used in certain Shinto rituals in Japan, as well as a Japanese musical bow, made from the wood of the Japanese azusa (梓) or Japanese cherry birch tree (Betula grossa). Playing an azusa yumi forms part of some Shinto rituals; in Japan, it is believed that merely the twanging of the bowstring will frighten ghosts and evil spirits away from a house. In Japanese poetry, the word azusa yumi functions as a makurakotoba ("pillow word", a kind of epithet).

  • Un azusayumi (梓弓 azusayumi?) es un arco musical japonés hecho de la madera de catalpa (梓 azusa?). El toque del azusayumi forma parte de algunos rituales sintoístas. Antiguamente se realizaba el toque musical del arco durante los rituales y los nacimientos con el fin de ahuyentar a los malos espíritus. Actualmente el azusayumi se utiliza en dos actividades: durante el Año Nuevo, en donde se lleva a cabo un festival de arquería llamado, matsuriyumi (祭り弓 'matsuriyumi'?) en el que se determina la buena fortuna del año que comienza. La segunda actividad es mediante la adivinación de la fortuna, en las que las sacerdotisas que ejecutan se llaman azusamiko (梓巫女 'azusamiko'?).​ (es)
