And if you go back another 60 years you have a isolated Japan without any trade with western countrys except from the Netherlands. 200 years of Peace since the Civil war until the Americans forced them to trade with a gun pointed at their heads. Since ww2 a lot of culture is forgotten and/or lost due to Americans wanting to make Japan a western country. To be clear i just don't like the American Government forcing people to live like they want them to through violence and war which they do even today. Back in the 19th century every European country did that, but kinda grew Out of it (except Britain).

As someone who looks highly upon Japanese culture, seeing Senso-Ji temple, a place I visited in 2014, back almost exactly 100 years made me tear up. Truly a landmark of history and beauty.

[@kamudototsuka]

This is a video from the time period when my grandmother was born ..... Looking at the video, it appears to have been filmed in the Asakusa area. 0:16The ”風鈴（Furin)”is a traditional Japanese tool that makes a cool sound when the wind blows to relieve hot feelings. I have one hanging in the window at my house. "風" is "Wind. Does "鈴" mean something like "bell, chime"? This guy seems to carry a cart and sell it. It looks hard. 2:00This is the Asakusa Sixth Ward in the entertainment district. There were a lot of popular theaters in Asakusa and the vestiges of them still remain. 2:16 　Since it says "十二階(Twelfth Floor)", I think it is the 12-story building "凌雲閣(Ryounkaku)", which was a famous place at that time. The name "凌雲閣(Ryounkaku)" means "雲を凌ぐ(surpassing the clouds)".In Japan. where there were no tall buildings at the time, the 12-story building was an innovation that made it a popular tourist attraction. Japan's first electric-powered elevator was also adopted. However, that elevator was not used very often due to many problems. To entertain customers climbing the long staircase, pictures of beauty pageants were displayed on the staircase and voted on at the top floor. It's a huge difference compared to the images from the US at the same time. It was destroyed by a big earthquake. In the big earthquake, the 8th floor and above snapped off, and about 13 spectators fell to their deaths along with the debris. However, one person was lucky enough to be caught by a signboard of a Japanese tabi socks brand called FUKUSUKE during the fall and survived. Fukusuke Tabi is still a famous stocking and innerwear manufacturer in Japan. 2:31Among the posters for various plays and movies, this one turned out to be the only one I could find. It is a silent film called "曽我兄弟狩場の曙(Akebono of the Soga Brothers Hunting Ground)" made by M. Pathe Company. This company merged with three other companies after a year of moving pictures to become Nikkatsu, a movie company that still exists today. Nikkatsu has largely declined recently, but it seems that they are still producing films and is famous for supporting the Japanese film industry. It says "Park Theatre" and has a slightly different title, or maybe it's a play about it. Although the staff is known, the original film does not exist and it is a lost film that cannot be seen now. I don't usually know that such a thing has ever happened, even to Japanese people. When I looked it up, I got a little excited. The way the kanji are written is so old-fashioned it's hard to read! 2:45　The product called "仁丹(jintan)" on the right pillar is still sold in Japan. It was like a refreshment that was labeled as a medicine, and it was advertised on a large scale to take advantage of the popularity of Ryounkaku at the time. 2:55 文房具雑貨(stationery・miscellaneous goods)　マント(Cloak) ショール(shawl) タバコ(tobacco) Even a hundred years ago, the text hasn't changed that much. I'm surprised myself. 3:10 　This is Nakamise street in Asakusa. 　I think it was taken before the big earthquake. The video era was a time when democracy was popular, the country was relatively peaceful, and East and West were blended together. The Japanese call it "Taisho Roman" and use it as a major source of material for comics and dramas. 3:17 The Kaminarimon lantern is famous in Asakusa, but actually there are four large lanterns in Sensoji Temple, including the Kaminarimon. This is one of them, the "小舟町(Kofunachou)" lantern between the ”雷門(Kaminarimon)" lantern at the entrance and the "志ん橋(Shinbashi）” lantern in the main hall. I found this out later. It was also the year that Yoshinobu, the last shogun of the Edo Shogunate, died. He was a shogun who used his natural intelligence to navigate through a period of upheaval that was too turbulent for him to manage alone. In addition to becoming a master of the shuriken, he also loved photography, oil painting, bicycles, and other Western interests.

No one had developed that self-consciousness that comes from seeing footage of yourself, so no one seems to care how gormless they look staring into a camera like we do now. 😂 And so no one tries to put on a show of any kind.

It was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake on September 1, 1923, about 10 years after this video was taken. This cityscape was also reduced to ashes by fire caused by the earthquake, and is a very valuable video that cannot be seen today.

[@SweetlySerene]

Manxkaffee youre absolutely right. WW1 was actually already waging at this time (1914-1918) so these kids were too young. WW2 was 1939-1945, so even the babies in this video would be in their early 30’s-40’s, so unless already in the military it’d be a lower chance of conscription. Amazing how quickly time passes yet these kids lived (hopefully) through the biggest points of the 20th century

[@user-nh5xn8yf1b]

I think the most astonishing thing about this video (and other videos on this amazing channel) is the context of time and technology. You see, the more understandable evidence there exists from a certain period, the more we acknowledge that period. E.g. it’s easy for me to acknowledge 80s though I never really lived in 80s but my parents did, and I’ve watched a bunch of movies from that time, listened to hours of music, which was created and recorded at that time. But deeper into the past, this kind of evidence dissolves, and subconsciously we perceive the older times more like a miracle, like a legend. Take this video, the 1910s. Barely can we find any people who were born at that time, and films and music recorded during that time are not what you usually watch or listen to (Here, “recorded” instead of “created” is very important. For example, it is a normal thing to read Leo Tolstoy, but it’s utterly weird to listen to recordings of his voice).That makes restored and augmented 1910s footage more special that the same from, say, 1960s. At least, this is how I see it. Спасибо за замечательную работу UPD: a plenty of people replied that “80s irl were not like they were portrayed in films”. I didn’t say they were, you’re missing the point. I just say that the cultural heritage of the 80s is easier to perceive that the one from 1910s, that’s why psychologically the 80s are more tangible for everyone - even for people who didn’t live in the 80s (eg me). And that is why it is so strange to watch a footage of decent quality from 1910s (apart from the very fact that there’s a HQ video from 1915 Tokyo).

[@thepermman]

I lived in the 80s and movie and tv 80s are not quite the same as real world 80s. I was born in 84. I remember it well enough to remember the evolution. TV shows and movies are a hyper stylized version of reality. The best looks into past times are kind of lazily made videos where people were just running around with their camera. There's no agenda, just people playing with their cameras.

[@DragomirJtac]

@@thepermman I've started to realize this is the case! I wonder what other abstract realities we're completely misunderstanding, like say, what day to day life looked like in 12th century Cairo, what did it feel like? Even with artifacts and written accounts, you can really only guess at what it truly felt like to exist back then.
