Strange membership application process to join the Kodokan

[HomerPlata]

I was flicking through Jigoro Kano's book when I noticed an unusual requirement for joining...

"... To apply for membership, it is only necessary to fill out an application form and resent it..."

Man, I hated that form so much, and they still didn't contact me about my membership

Man, I can understand scorn, but resentment? The Japanese have a very interesting culture.
