Dozukuri

Dozukuri was the second step of Kyujutsu, aligning the body. The archer lined up his shoulders parallel to an invisible line he had already envisioned in the first step, ashibumi, and that he was in perfect balance. Then he arches and straightened his back, so the bowstring could not catch his hakama strings as he fired and that he would not hit his face with the bowstring when he released. He was now prepared to ready the bow, yugamae. Book of Air, p. 30
