Abstract
IEMOTO system is one of the integrated formations in japanese traditional cultural and martial art (budo) groups. It was amplified as ‘IEMOTO’ by F. L. K. Hsu, and it was the important kye concept for understanding of japanese organizations. T. Nishiyma and T. Kawashima examined and defined not only its cultural matter but also some economical, legal, and instituional features. In this paper, by introducing some concepts of P. Bourdieu: corporalization, reification, and cultural capital, I will re-examine the feature of IEMOTO system on the cultural field, especially SADO, and I will clarify the cultural stratification behind japanese popularized traditional arts.
