Sanshiro Sugata background

Sanshiro Sugata

A journey of self-discovery and discipline in the art of judo exposes the deeper meaning of human existence.

A strong and stubborn youth named Sanshiro apprentices at a jujitsu school in the city, but soon becomes fascinated with judo, a more spiritual art, after witnessing its master, Yano, in action. As Sanshiro learns new techniques, he must also cultivate "satori," a state of calm acceptance of Nature's law. His goal is to balance strength and control, with the hope of transforming judo into the training regimen for the city's police, earning the respect of an old teacher, and winning the heart of Sayo, the teacher's daughter.
