"Longie" in English.  In Japan all bows are called Yumi.  But they have a particular traditional assymetrical extra-long bow called a Daikyū (大弓) 7-8 ft long (2.4-2.7 meters).

In my young days when I was a merchant seaman we sometimes went ashore for a shortie. A longie was more expensive. :laughing:
