In addition, this is an attempt to reevaluate its originality as a bodywork facing cultural change. E. Hobsbawm stated that many traditions are quite recent in origin, and invented tradition is understood as a set of ritualistic or symbolic practices, implying continuity with the past. Budo was established as an old Japanese culture when Jigoro Kano created Judo in 1882. Even though he respected traditional culture and tried to adapt it to modern society to create a new tradition, a coherent continuity is clearly visible in the developmental process. In addition, such a rapid internationalization has produced apparently opposite concepts:Judo as a traditional culture and Judo as a sport. Yet Judo must present a logical connection with the past to move beyond the dichotomy of tradition and internationalization.  Budo forms part of the Japanese educational system, and we must carefully examine the bodywork’s usefulness, as well as how it benefits moral development in the educational context. In addition, the Budo training called “Keiko” mainly involves mastering several techniques and contains culture cultivated over the years as well as the philosophy by which we can feel and touch traditional ideas through bodywork. Understanding traditional culture through the Budo bodywork is the basic viewpoint in human formation, which is seen from Kano’s consistent stance in promoting Judo to the world as traditional culture. The originality of Budo as bodywork and its educational values must be passed on to the present generation despite cultural change;even then, it is necessary for us to reevaluate the originality of Budo as it faces cultural change and reflect on current issues relevant to it., application/pdf}, pages = {1--10}, title = {Current issues concerning Budo along with cultural change : Beyond the dichotomy between tradition and internationalization}, volume = {19}, year = {2019} }
