built 632 days ago
Kano releases the single, 'Feel Free' through 679 ob December 10th 2007. As one of the highlights off the new album it was only right that 'Feel Free' was released as the next single. A collaboration with Damon Albarn, this epic dub'n'beats number ... stars a kids choir from Kano's old school, where his mum still teaches.

In 1882 Kano founded Kodokan Judo. His martial art (Judo) all but replaced the parent arts of jujitsu in Japan as the most popular sport and as a normal part of school education.

Soon spring came to the Eishoji, then summer passed, and Kano and his students continued their daily training. In those days, Kano occupied the important position of principal of the Gakushuin, a well-known school for the children of the well-to-do. Every morning he would ride to work in a jinrikisha, then a fashionable mode of transportation, but before he went he would have to spend two hours instructing at his own Kobunkan, an institute he created not only for judo, but for other studies as well. Everyday after work at the Gakushuin -- judo practice. Then, at night -- lecture preparations for the following day. Since he had no other time to do it, he would work at translations until one or two in the morning.

Gleeson accurately indicates that Kano won a place in the newly established Tokyo University in 1878. This was not an accident or a politically motivated acceptance. If the government looked to this school as a primary source of new blood, it was because it was the only university in Japan at the time. Kinworth refers to the government's interest in Tokyo University graduates as "legal discrimination," and points out that graduates who entered government service were likely to make several times as much money as low-ranked civil servants and laborers 9. Kinworth's indignation notwithstanding, this is hardly news, nor is it particularly interesting. In the U.S., graduates from the top 10 schools, like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and MIT, are more likely to find higher positions in government service (and elsewhere) than their counterparts without degrees.

Management of the Kodokan was handled by Kano himself until 1894 when a consultative body, the Kodokan Council, was set up. To say that Kano was busy would be putting it mildly. He usually rode to work in a ricksha as headmaster of Gakushuin, or Peer's School, but only after spending two hours instructing at his own Kobun Gakuen (a school organized by Kano for Chinese students). After work, he would go to the Kodokan and supervise the training. Then late at night, he would prepare his lectures for the following day.
