Abstract - The Body Envisioned by Jigoro Kano: Based on his career as a judo master, IOC member and principal of Tokyo Higher Normal School
It is not appropriate to evaluate Jigoro Kanō only as a judo master. Viewed from a different standpoint, one such achievement was his activities allowed Japanese to participate in international sport events, and yet another was his influence on Japan’s educational world. Based on the life story of Jigoro Kano, he established the general idea of “moral doctrine” and pursed peace across borders, classifying and systematizing the body techniques of judo and spreading them around the world. For those of us who wish to promote world peace using the body and related culture, it is important to study the hybrid body of Jigoro Kano.
