Research Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the formational and institutional process of the so-called Japanese sports in order to clarify the characteristics of sports in Japan. Main contents of examination were as follows:
1. From the point of sociological theory such as Bourdieu, P. and Giddens, A., we constructed a new model of sports, and clarify the basic elements and their interrelations to study the process of institutionalization in sports. In addition, we reexamined that process from a view of Invention of Tradition pointed by Hobsbaum.
2. The process of institutionalization in the Japanese sports such as Sumo, Judo and Kendo were analyzed. As a result, the elements of competition, education and class in sports had great impaction that process. And, their Japanese and spiritual traditions were invented in Meiji era and through early Showa era. In these meanings, their characteristics of the Japanese sports were thought as the products of modernization process in Japan.
3. There were important differences in the process of institutionalization between Japanese sports and European sports.
