Description

The hero of the fiction "Sanshiro Sugata" is talked about with KODOKAN, development of the Judo in Japan as if it is an actual person. Sanhiro's character was based on Shiro Saigo. Shiro Saigo became a hero in Japan and was the model for the main character in Tomita Tsuneo's novel "Sugata Sanshiro". And then, this film was released in Japan on 25 March 1943 by Toho film studios. I think that the myth of Shiro Saigo is indispensable to establish KODOKAN for history of judo. I describe that the society by a real image of Shiro Saigo and the reason the myth of Shiro Saigo was created.
