　One hundred years ago, on May 17, 1922, the day that Yoshinori Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan Karate, performed karate (then known as Karate) to the public for the first time at the Kodokan Dojo of Judo.

 

　This day was during the 1st Sports and Sports Exhibition organized by the Ministry of Education (April 30 ~ May 31, 1922: Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School Attached Museum of Education), where Funakoshi went to Tokyo and performed karate at the Kodokan.

Video No Longer Avainable

Shinya Aihara, the editor-in-chief of Shin Karatedo and a karate collector, is one of those who looked up the day from old books. "It was a presentation of shapes, promissory hands, and a question-and-answer session. On this day, about 250 people, including Kodokan disciples, students, officials, military personnel, police officers, and newspaper and magazine reporters, gathered to see the first public presentation of karate. It is a day when karate became known and spread throughout the world. By the way, there was no such thing as a dojo suit in karate at the time of going to Tokyo, so it was plain clothes. For that reason, it is said that Funakoshi saw the judo suit and referred to it, hurriedly bought a cloth and made it all night," says the anniversary of the first karate suit being made.

 

Jigoro Kano tried to incorporate this karate into the shinobi department of judo in earnest, and although it did not actually disappear, the form of judo's "energetic goodness" can be seen by incorporating some of the techniques of hitting from this exchange of karate.

 

Toshinori Omori, who wrote "What is Oshinin?", says, "This was the beginning of everything, and without it, Olympic karate, Kyokushin, kick and K-1 would not have been born." How about looking back on what karate is on this memorable day?
