This used to belong to Donn Draeger. It's the second item of his that I've owned. The first was the futon he used in the Ichiyaga House on the Hill. He'd moved out by the time I got here, and I was given it by friends who still lived there.

Glima, from Iceland (I haven't researched the origins.) Iceland is one of the places I wished I'd visited. I knew two Icelandic lasses, sisters, back in my London days. I taught one of them judo at the Judokan. They very much fitted my idea of what Viking women looked like, tall, blonde, striking. When they came to my house, they'd pick my mother up and kiss her, then pick my dad up and kiss him. In Iceland you look people up in the phonebook by their first name. (Talking about phonebooks sounds as dated as Muffin the Mule.)

In the first photo, note how the throw is blocked. Seeing this block always takes me back to Paris, where I watched Geesink, on his way to his first world championship, attack Koga with uchi-mata. Koga used this block once, twice, three times, before sailing over. Geesink was very deliberate and authoritative in his attack.

Some old books, two of them by E. J. Harrison.
The Richard Bowen Collection at Bath has two copies of The Text Book of Ju Jutsu as Practised in Japan, by S. K. Uyenishi, one of which was donated by Feldenkrais. Although listed as published in 1905, Dick Bowen notes that it was actually published in 1903, as that was when it was reviewed by Health and Strength.
Physical Training for Women by Japanese Methods was by H. Irving Hancock, 1904.

Yes it is, they feature on most pottery examples of pankration. They are normally identifiable by a stick or twig looking thing.





Edit: Apologies don't know how to reduce the size of the first image.

I think this is an example of a depiction of "sumo" produced specifically for foreign consumption in the early years of the Meiji era.
