XXXVII, 2007, p. 331-397 331 GEORG VON HÙTTEROTT, GIAPPONISTA E FIGURA DI SPICCO DELLA VITA ECONOMICA E CULTURALE TRIESTINA E ROVIGNESE SILVIA ZANLORENZI CDU 008+ 33:929(Hutterott)(450.361 +497.5Rovigno )"19/20" Trieste Dicembre 2007 Riassunto- Il presente saggio viene inteso come proseguimento di un precedente testo che mirava ad inscrivere la figura del Barone Georg von Hiitterott (Trieste, 1852-1910) in un fenomeno culturale europeo sviluppatosi nella seconda metà del XIX secolo, conosciuto come "Giapponismo". In questo ambito l'indagine verrà circoscritta al solo contesto locale in cui Hiitterott visse e operò, ossia la città di Trieste e l'area del litorale adriatico, e anche per questo saggio l'interesse si focalizza sulla "parte giapponese" ossia incarichi ufficiali e attività culturali che lo coinvolsero relativamente alla carica ricevuta nel1879, di Console Onorario del Giappone a Trieste per l'Austria-Ungheria. "Nell'antico Giappone (io mi dicevo) son gli stessi viali che ho lasciato là, in Europa ... Due passi, e al luogo amato parmi d'essere. E c'ero infatti. Avevo d'esser !ungi sognato". da Viaggio al Giappone, U. Saba, 1917 Al fine di spiegare i legami non solo istituzionali col Giappone di Georg Hi.itterott, nel saggio precedente erano stati forniti i parametri generali del Giapponismo europeo, e si era cercato di sottolineare come, soprattutto per tramite della carismatica figura "orientalista" del principe Massimiliano, il fenomeno continentale avesse avuto risonanza anche a Trieste. In Europa l'interesse per la lontana nazione asiatica si sviluppò in un periodo compreso tra gli anni Sessanta del XIX secolo, fino al primo decennio del XX, e nel capoluogo giuliano pressappoco i limiti cronologici furono gli stessi.

    AWA DEC - 2017 | ISSUE 16 AWA | PAGE 01 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Jeremy M.L. Hix, Nidan Dojo Cho-Greater Lansing Aikido; Lansing, MI USA Reflecting on this year, I am inspired by those closest to me. Their perseverance, mental, physical, and emotional fortitude, go well beyond anything short of super human. There are some battles that cannot be won. As in Aikido, there is no winner or loser, only Masakatsu Agatsu "true victory is victory over oneself." Such is the life of people with chronic pain and fatigue. Conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Chronic Fatigue, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Migraines (to name a few from a long list) are "Invisible" in the sense that they may not present outward physical manifestations of the associated symptoms. Furthermore, the individual living with the condition may also feel invisible in the sense of "self" as they are dismissed as faking their ailments. Often, this causes feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, and withdrawal. I'm fortunate to have two people in my life that are very close to my heart, both battling with invisible health conditions. They are relentless in their perseverance, in their ability to overcome. They practice Aikido on crutches, in wheelchairs, and are eager to learn. They travel to Japan and explore the world. They never give up. They never acquiesce. Through understanding, compassion, empathy, and love, we can help make visible the beautiful person beneath the vale of these chronic conditions. I would like to dedicate this editorial to my better halves: Kristy, and her sister, Kayla. Thank you both for your perseverance in the face of adversity, and for giving me the privilege of being your friend along the way.

  • A Judo That Incorporates Kendo: Jigoro Kano’S Ideas and Their Theoretical Development
    REVIEW PAPER A Judo that Incorporates Kendo: Jigoro Kano’s Ideas and Their Theoretical Development Fumiaki Shishida Waseda University, Faculty of Sports Sciences, Tokyo, Japan Source of support: This study is supported by the Japanese government subsidy for scientific research (C). Grant Number: 23500704 Received: 16 October 2012; Accepted: 29 November 2012; Published online: 5 December 2012 Abstract Judo’s founder, Jigoro Kano, stated by the end of his life that in the future judo should integrate the principles of kendo (Japanese swordsmanship). He also often mentioned that his vision of ideal judo was present in the ex- tremely fluid randori sparring practices that took place during the early years of judo. These statements will be un- expected for most modern judo practitioners, who practice a competitive judo as a sport and are largely unaware of Kano’s desire to make judo into a practical martial art. Kano’s hope of combining the principles of judo and kendo to make a practical martial art was not realized during his lifetime, but his goal was pursued by his student, Kenji Tomiki. Professor Tomiki defined the principle of kendo as the “technical theory of chop and thrust while avoiding being touched” and worked towards integrating it with judo’s throwing techniques. In particular, he not- ed that just as the proper moment to begin executing a sword technique is the moment of first contact between attacker and defender, the proper moment to begin executing a judo technique is also the moment of first con- tact between attacker and defender. Thus, the long periods of slow and indecisive wrestling that occur in modern judo tournaments after competitors have grabbed each other’s uniforms fail to meet Kano’s ideal.
