Ku-e-shinok is an archery minigame in Ghost of Yotei that can be found near the entrance to Ishikari Plain. To win you must hit all 6 targets without missing a single ring in an archery challenge. See here for the trick to winning in Ku-e-shinok, even without concentration to get the Moment to Breathe achievement!

How to Win Ku-e-shinok
Hit All Static Rings First
There are three rings that are static and won't move from their position the entire time. Two rings can be found hanging from the tree in front of Atsu, while the last ring is towards the right, hanging from a branch.
Use Concentrate to Hit Moving Rings
The first moving ring wil be at the rightmost side, and will come just behind the log. The second moving ring is thrown up in an arc, right in front of the waterfall. The last moving ring is at the river shoreline. Use Concentration to hit them easily.
Get Dragonfly Armor For Archery Buff
The Dragonfly Armor is extremely handy for extending your concentration and for decreasing your drawspeed.
Dragonfly Armor Effects and How to Get
How to Hit Rings Without Concentrate
Aim After the Log In Front of Atsu for the First Moving Ring
If you're quick enough, you can hit the three static rings and catch the first moving ring as it moves past the log. Aim just before the log, and shoot as it moves past it.
Aim at the Branch to Hit the Second Ring
The second ring is the toughest to hit as you'll need to aim fast to hit it without concentrate. The best way to catch it is to figure the arc of where it will fall. Aim at the branch of the tree holding one of the static rings, and shoot to catch the moving ring as it falls.
Start Aiming After the Child Points
The children will not throw their rings until after they gesture where they're throwing. To make sure your bow does not fire prematurely, start aiming only after they gesture.
Upgrade Your Bow for Faster Draw Speed
Upgrading your bow can also decrease your draw speed further on your bow. This may be worth investing time to if you're struggling with the minigame.
How to Upgrade Weapons
Aim at Ahead of the Last Moving Ring
To catch the last ring, aim ahead of the ring and shoot. As there's no arc to keep mind of, just be sure that you don't aim your bow too soon.
