Abstract

Yasuo Tange wrote about the controversy related to the nature of physical education that occurred around 1960, although the actual controversy was between Tange and Masaharu Haruta. Tange stated that Haruta's criticism was useful in the development of the motor culture theory. However, he did not address its specific impact. Many previous studies have described the process of Tange's construction of the motor culture theory; however, the influence of Haruta has never been discussed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of Haruta on Tange's process of constructing his theory of motor culture by reviewing the literature at that time. It became clear that Tange's stipulation in 1960 that “physical education is education mediated by motor culture” was because of Haruta's criticism that the democratic human development Tange had considered up to that point could not be a unique goal of physical education. It also became clear that Tange, who in 1960 had emphasized the joy of children in the pursuit of motor culture, developed his theory of motor culture in 1963 after gaining from Haruta the viewpoints of physical education for the people, education to overcome social contradictions, and having children create a new motor culture.
