      abstract = {"The founder of judo, Kano Jigoro, is a highly revered  figure amongst those who pursue the sport. Little is known,  however, about his various other achievements, from how he  laid out the foundation for sports in Japanese education to  his immense devotion and commitment to bringing the Olympic  Games to Japan. Born in 1860, Kano showed his brightness  from a young age and studied hard from childhood. After  graduating from Tokyo Imperial University, the most  prestigious school, he embarked on a teaching career which  eventually led him to become the headmaster of the Tokyo  Higher Normal School for a total of twenty-three years.  This was just one of the many roles he undertook; aside  from this he was chairman of the Japan Amateur Sports  Association and became the first Asian member on the  International Olympic Committee. And all the while he never  ceased to develop and promote his creation, judo. For the  first time, this comprehensive biography written by a team  of Kano experts and researchers sheds light on the many  dimensions of the legendary figure. It depicts how he truly  lived life to the fullest by living out his own  words--seiryoku zen'yo and jita kyoei--the best practical  use of one's energies and putting one's efforts to good use  for the benefit of both oneself and society"--},
