• 1. Key works in Japan sport history
  2. Gender and Japanese sports
  3. Sumo
  4. Soccer
  5. Other Japanese sports
  6. Gambling sports in Japan: Horse racing, power boat racing, velodrome cycling
  7. Japan and the Olympics
  8. High school and university sports beyond baseball
  9. Corporate sports in Japan
  10. The body and performance
  11. Gambaru, failure, and other spiritual dispositions
  12. Hazing and corporeal punishment in sports
