Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the pre-war period, volleyball spread as a recreational sport for female factory workers. Volleyball was introduced as a suitable exercise and for increasing the production efficiency of women workers and it was considered a “sport suited to women” in Japan. However, the Kure navy yard volleyball team created a volleyball culture that had a “manly” fighting spirit, and was successful in national competitions. On the other hand, the prosperity of the “manly” volleyball culture had a parallel relationship with the “sluggishness of the labor movement” in the Kure navy arsenal. In other words, there was coexistence of a “manly” sports culture and dominant class and a submissive worker class culture.
