WELCOME TO JAPAN

The world seen from the ring

An episode from the series WELCOME TO

Synopsis

Tokyo, its robots, cherry blossoms, thousand-year-old temples, and futuristic neon lights.

It was in this city of paradoxes that judo was born in 1882. It carries bodies all of its values: discipline, respect, and refinement. Two judokas in white kimonos, barefoot on the tatami, embody the very essence of Japan and its philosophy of pushing oneself to the limit.

In Tokyo, judo isn’t just practiced, it’s lived.
