It has been 120 years since Kano Jigoro Shihan founded Kodokan Judo in 1882.

Judo has become one of the Olympic sporting event and has spread to more than 180 countries free from their race, language, politics or religion.

To take this chance of 120th Anniversary, we would like to think how Judo, as one of the Japanese culture which we can be proud of to introduce to the world, was brought up and how it was spread out. Let's look back Kano Shihan's technique and his spirit.
