Streets of Tokyo, between 1913-1915.

@UmarBzv They’re all looking at the movie camera and saying: “Why is it so big and bulky? Surely we can transistorize it and make it fit in the palm of a hand!”

@UmarBzv its fascinating seeing a snippet of the past, especially when you can tell many are staring at the camera in amazement

@UmarBzv The West ruined a beautiful culture.

@UmarBzv Considering it’s Japan, half of the people are still alive!

@UmarBzv Fascinating video. It’s a mixture of old pre-Meiji Reforms Japan, yukatas, but with Western hats.

@UmarBzv Remember!!

@UmarBzv

@UmarBzv Who was recording at that time

@UmarBzv Back then, the Japanese already had a full color world while the rest of the world was just black and white

@UmarBzv That's more than 100 years ago
