VIRTUAL MUSEUM OF JAPANESE SPORTS

How would you like to write your name in the annals of history alongside some of the world’s most outstanding athletes?

Come join the select few who will pioneer the creation of The Virtual Museum of Japanese Sports—the only museum of its kind in the world! The wings of the museum will be filled with detailed descriptions of many Japanese sports, both native and imported, and their greatest practitioners through time. You will create the initial framework upon which this project will continually expand.

At first, building a history museum may not seem as engaging as creating a video game, but think of the impact your project could have for years beyond your involvement. History museums are indispensable repositories of our shared experience across time and space because they provide enlightening windows into some of mankind’s greatest achievements and gravest mistakes. Sports museums serve as permanent records of the greatness of the human body and spirit. They are hallowed halls in which we all can be inspired by those who pushed the limitations of our corporeal form.

Japan is a fascinating subject for such a museum. Where else could thousands watch a sport with over a thousand years of history in the afternoon, hop on a train, and then watch a baseball game in a modern stadium in the evening? While our museum is no substitute for live spectacle, it will be the one place that curious people can comfortably search through numerous topics from eighteenth century sumo wrestlers to European judoka champions to Japanese MLB players. Every visitor will have you to thank for that privilege.

Come etch your name on the vaunted virtual walls of the Japanese Sports Hall of Fame!
