Hi,
I collected the informations about Kitayama Junyu at website http://www.kitayama-junyu.info.
He lived in Germany between years 1925-1944. I have informations about his work there as writer (he wrote lot of germans books about japanese history, peoples, minds, kultur and religions), japan language teacher, chief of Japan institute in Berlin . From year 1947-1962 he teached judo some peoples in the Czechoslowakia. He wrote some books about judo.
So in my research I have only one information (quote in below) about his judo studying, teachings in Germany between years (1925-1944). If you have some informations or know the some sources please give me know.
It is from Alfred Rhode from text „DER BEITRAG DES JUDO ZUR ERZIEHUNG" from August 1932
Thank you a lot for your help.

"Vor Beginn seiner ersten internationalen Judo-Sommerschule vom 7.-12. August 1932 setzte sich Alfred Rhode mit dem Gründer des Kodokan in Tokio, Herrn Professor Jigoro Kano, in Verbindung. Er teilte ihm mit, dass er beabsichtige, die Technik des europäischen Judo durch die Schaffung dieser jährlich im Sommer abgehaltenen Lehrgänge zu fördern, zu denen er auch japanische Lehrer wie Koizumi, Tarn, Ishiguro, Dr. Kitabatake, Otani, Dr. Kitayama und Hano Rhi einzuladen gedenke. Er bat ihn, seine Grundsätze und Gedanken über Judo schriftlich darzulegen, um in diesem Sinne die Lehrgänge durchzuführen. Herr Professor Kano sandte ihm daraufhin den nachfolgenden Beitrag, der die Grundzüge des Judo so anschaulich darstellt, dass man sie gut und gerne als einen philosophischen Lebensleitfaden bezeichnen kann." wrote:
