On January 29, 2013, 15 leading female judokas complained that coaching personnel including the national coach of the women’s team had perpetrated violence and power harassment on them. The case attracted substantial public attention. Subsequent revelations also encompassed issues such as financial scandals and indecent conduct involving the federation’s officials. MUNEOKA Shoji was then appointed the new President of the All Japan Judo Federation at the end of August 2013, and he began the reorganization of the federation immediately upon taking charge. The white-striped Judo black belt symbolizes the disrespect directed at Japanese women Judo athletes. Foreign female Judo players wear ordinary black belts ; however, their Japanese counterparts are compelled to wear black belts with a white stripe. Grading regulations are identical for men and women in other Japanese martial arts such as kendo or karate, and women are awarded ordinary black belts just as men. This paper elucidates the fundamental values of Judo, investigates why Kano Jigoro instituted the white-striped belt for women and probes the historical and social contexts that led to the establishment of women’s Judo.
