Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between the sporting goods industry and sports athletic organizations in the postwar recovery period in Japan, from the view point of the system of officially recognized sporting equipment. The items of the trade paper "Nihon Undogu Sinpo" from 1948-1956 were used as historical materials for this study.The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1. The relationship between the sporting goods industry and sports athletic organizations in the postwar period was to work in close cooperation. Both had problems of getting good sporting equipment and financial guarantees. 2. The system of officially recognized sporting equipment was developed to remedy these two problems. Table tennis is a good example of this, but the case of volleyball shows a conflict among the sporting goods industries. 3. Unity among three sporting goods industry organizations was achieved in about 1953. This unity began to demand a fair system of officially recognized sporting equipment for the development of sports, with the raising of official recognition fees for volleyball. 4. This Unity influenced the revision of amateur regulations in 1957.
