Can't see the randori in junokata?

By patparker on  From mokurendojo.com
In my last post I asserted that junokata is not an abstract, aesthetic, demonstration thing intended for aging judo masters.  Rather, it was deliberately designed by Kano as practical randori education for relative beginners.  At least, that's what Kano says/implies in his memoirs. .

First, what is randori? The Japanese word, randori , means something to the effect of "laying hold of chaos" or "taking freedom."
