Abstract
This research aims at considering the process of production and reproduction of the gender in a sport seen from a viewpoint of generation of a norm, in the Meiji and Taisho term where the sport was introduced.
In that case, not dualism-thinking (sex/gender) but generation of the category itself is regarded as a historical and political occurrence, and it considers as the object of analysis of the situation and the effect that it occurred. And first of all distinction of a man and a woman is considered to have been educated by the others in the form of being appropriate or un-appropriate. About the generation process of a norm, it is based on Osawa's theory.
The result, it is thought that gender was produced when the necessity of differentiating man and woman when controlling the deviation nature of a sport increases. Moreover, since it becomes easy to make the validity of an act in agreement, performing a sport educationally can consider becoming an effective means to reproduce gender.
