englisch“Life and work of KANŌ Jigorō (1860-1938)“ by Andreas Niehaus is the first book to analyse the legacy of the most important Japanese physical educator of the late 18th and early 20th century in the historical context and based on a thorough reading of his abundant writings. While existing research especially focuses on the development of Kanō’s martial art judo, the five chapters of this book analyse the political, social en educational background of his sport philosophy. Kanō’s sport pedagogy is a mirror of, but also an attempt to come to terms with contemporary discussions about the layout of Japanese modernity and the modern Japanese nation within the context of an increasingly globalizing and industrializing world. By analysing Kanō’s extensive writings it will be argued that his ideas of a physical and moral education directed towards the nation evolved towards a universalistic philosophy of sports and ethics.

„Kompetenz des Autors einzigartig … Das knapp 400 Seiten starke Buch … beantwortet mehr Fragen, als sich die meisten je stellen würden. … Niehaus hat mit seiner Arbeit über das Leben Kanos nicht nur ein Buch vom Judo verfasst, sondern auch rund zwei Jahrzehnte Geschichte der Olympischen Spiele beschrieben. … Meist kritisch, immer neu….“
