How did Koshien become a sacred place representing Japanese youth and ideals?

In the 197s, with the cartoons with the theme of Koshien being adapted into cartoons and broadcast on TV, and the live broadcast of Koshien games becoming more and more popular, people were able to receive the heat of high school baseball through TV, which pushed the popularity of Koshien to the peak. Since then, people have regarded this era as the "golden age" of Koshien.

The "Golden Age" of Koshien complements each other and grows together, and there is the craze of Koshien in the Japanese cartoon circle. Mitsuru Adachi's Baseball Hero, which almost influenced a generation, appeared in 1981, after the above-mentioned "The First Man in Baseball Comics" Mizushima Shinji's "Big Useless", "Poem of Wild Ball Crazy" and "Bloody Ball".

until the 191s, the number of spectators in Koshien was not affected by the rise of other sports or the economic recession, but it continued to rise steadily, which shows that people's concern for Koshien was no less than that in the "golden age".

At the same time, according to the statistics of Japan High School Baseball Association, the total number of members of high school baseball clubs (hard clubs) has increased year by year, and in 214, it even reached a record high of more than 17,. These figures give Koshien special meaning and status.

"98% of high school players were defeated here and then became stronger."

This is the billboard slogan of Koshien Station of Hanshin Metro. The percentage of "98%" in the slogan is not just made up.

Summer Koshien has a long historical tradition. The tournament started with the National Middle School Baseball Championship initiated by Asahi Shimbun in 1915, and the first tournament was held at Toyotomi Baseball Field in Osaka.

Since then, the history of Japanese high school baseball league has been opened. So far, Koshien has been closed for four years, and 218 is the memorable 1th session of Koshien in summer.
