I am curious if anybody has ever come across an inventory of eventual audio recordings of Kanō Jigorō. Kanō-shihan died in May of 1938, but spoken full-length movies like The Jazz Singer had existed since 1927, with more elementary recordings being even much older. There were even full-color movies, spoken, available from the 1930s.
To the best of my knowledge there have not been any commercial releases of voice recordings of Kanō Jigorō, but someone reading here might know something I don't. So, please, if you have useful information on this topic, I invite you to share it.
