Collection of Comprehensive Data for Investigation of "Education based on Form (Kata)" in the Knowledge Society

在人类智力极度发达的今天的知识社会中，通过形似积累在人体中的智力又有什么样的可能性呢？我们试图收集历史记录来研究这个问题。我们特别观察了江户时代，因为几乎是从这个时代开始，知识社会的变革先于现代化。这是人类的行为和智力开始广泛地开发自然和约束人的身体，即内在本质的时代。然而，这个时代的智力总是回归到与自然妥协，而不是与自然隔绝。我们为生活在知识社会的我们广泛收集了各种各样的资料，以学习这一历史事实。

What kind of possibility can the intellect accumulated in the human body by mimicry of form(Kata) have in the present knowledge society, in which human intellect developed extremely? We attempted to collect historical records for examining this question. We especially observed the Edo period, because it is almost from this time that a change for the knowledge society advanced prior to modernization. It was the age when human act and intellect began broadly to exploit nature and to restrain human body, namely inner nature. However the intellect of this time was always returned to compromise with nature, and has not been isolated from it.We collected broadly various materials for us who live in the knowledge society to learn from this historical fact.
