Governing Body
Rugby union in Japan is governed by the Japan Rugby Football Union.
The Japan Rugby Football Union was officially formed on 30 November 1926, and became a full member of the International Rugby Board (with one seat on the Executive Council) in 1987, just before the 1987 Rugby World Cup. It is also a founding member of the Asian Rugby Football Union.

Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or body:
“In making the great experiment of governing people by consent rather than by coercion, it is not sufficient that the party in power should have a majority. It is just as necessary that the party in power should never outrage the minority.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“With my whole body I taste these peaches,
I touch them and smell them. Who speaks?
I absorb them as the Angevine
Absorbs Anjou. I see them as a lover sees,
As a young lover sees the first buds of spring
And as the black Spaniard plays his guitar.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
