In 1686, at the Sanjusangen-do Temple in Kyoto, the ""Toshiya"" archery competition, in which archers shot arrows through the eaves of the temple, approximately 121 meters long, over the course of a full day and night, was popular.

Wasa Daihachiro, a samurai from the Kishu domain, attempted this challenge at the age of 24, achieving an unprecedented record of 8,133 hits out of a total of 13,053 arrows.
