Before becoming Yves le Monochrome, Yves Klein, the man in blue who has now become a legend, was passionate about judo. This is what prompted him to travel to Japan in 1952, where he obtained his 4th dan black belt. A few months after his return to France, at the end of 1954, Yves Klein published almost simultaneously The Foundations of Judo and Yves Peintures, considered his first artistic endeavor. This long stay in Japan, filled with encounters and discoveries, certainly left its mark on Yves Klein, who often refers to it, and continues to fuel the questions of all those interested in his work. Could it be that it draws its source from there? Following Yves Klein USA and Yves Klein Germany, this book, prepared in collaboration with the Yves Klein Archives, retraces this founding journey through more than 150 archival documents, many of which are previously unpublished – photographs, correspondence and reproductions of works – illuminated by the texts of Terhi Génévrier-Tausti and Denys Riout.
