Hello.

This is a bit of an experiment for me – a narrated PowerPoint presentation regarding some portions of the life and times of Kanō Jigorō shihan.
(If it doesn’t work I’ll have to pull this message and delete it.)

Please note that I intentionally read it very slowly to allow my non-native English speaking friends time to digest the slides if my words don’t make sense. If you wish to speed it up, you can speed it up to 2.0x or simply hit the <SPACEBAR> to proceed to the next slide.

Topics include:
– Kanō’s childhood home in Kobe
– Kanō’s activities in the government as lifetime member of the House of Peers
– his contacts with the Yamaguchi Prefecture (former Choshu clan samurai) oligarchs of the new Meiji government
– Kanō’s short career as student radical and political thug / yōjinbō bodyguard
– Kanō and Keiko Fukuda sensei
– Kanō’s travels in and commentary on America
