Libro Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First English Edition. One of 1500 copies. 8vo. Wrappers. 224pp. 'In 1952 the 24-year-old Yves Klein left Paris for Japan, to pursue his first love; not art but judo. After becoming one of very few Europeans to receive a coveted 4th dan black belt from the Kodokan in Tokyo, Klein returned to France and opened the Judo Academie de Paris. In 1954 the prestigious firm of Grasset published his book "Les Fondements du Judo", illustrated with hundreds of photographs of Klein and the leading Japanese teachers demonstrating the six major Kata of judo. Now this extraordinary work has finally been translated into English.' The present edition is a 'transimile', that is a translation and, as far as is practicable, a facsimile, retaining the photographs and diagrams as well as unusual layout and typesetting, adding in supplementary texts from the 2nd French edition (2006). Near Fine, with just light signs of use, in slightly lesser jacket, moderately rubbed and marked, the lower panel with a fairly unobtrusive scratch.

Prima edizione
Condizione: Very good +. 1st Edition. Yves Klein, The Foundations of Judo, Grasset, 1954. 225 x 140mm. 22pp. Softback book with printed wraps. Illustrated in black and white throughout. Text in English (translated from the French by Ian Whittlesea). 1st English edition. First published in France by Grasset in 1954. Yves Klein studied judo in Japan before establishing his Judo Academy in Paris. At the time, he was the highest-grade black belt in Europe. The book is an instructional manual divided into 2 columns, with Klein pictured in both - one for tori (Klein does the kata technique - forms of throwing, groundwork, and defence) and one for uke (in which Klein has the technique performed on him). This innovative technique of displaying the katas side by side means the title is still a prime source for study today. Klein had planned a sequel title exploring Judo further which did not materialise due to the growing eminence of his art career. Following an injury studying Judo in Japan, Klein supported his training with calcium injections and amphetamines which was common in Japanese dojos at the time. The continued use of amphetamines has been suggested to contribute to his early passing from heart attacks at the age of 34. On the verso of the English translation of Klein s treatise on judo, one quote from the artist and judo-master reads: Judo is, in fact, the discovery by the human body of a spiritual space . Techniques that exemplify this spiritual nature are in ju no kata - form of suppleness (or gentleness), study of continuous motion and itsustsu no kata - 5 unnamed principles which express the ebb and flow of water and of energy. Of course, we see the perfect ippon throw as a work of art. Thanks to Ian Whittlesea (translator into English of the manual in 2009 published by The Everyday Press) for his invaluable insights into the history of the book.
