Old movies were filmed at a lower number of frames per second. That's why they appear sped-up when played back at normal speed. Charlie Chaplin films come to mind.
In 1919 it was most likely recorded with about 18 frames/second, of course with a hand cranked camera. Modern scanners work with 24 frames/second, which was the standard when sound came to the movie. So you have always to correct the speed with such old films.
Wonderful footage ! Thanks to the contributors. Our Water Department today 2020, is just like the Water Department in Japan in 1919. More than half the water is lost in leaks, before it reaches the consumer ! Regards. Trinidad & Tobago.
Yes, because they were about to murder it. They still sacrifice these little bears today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iomante "The males in the village then take shots at the cub with bows and arrows... it usually takes numerous shots before they fall. After the bear has been weakened from numerous arrow strikes and is too weak to defend itself, one villager will approach the bear and shoot it in the neck point-blank..."
"Murder" is a term describing an unlawful premeditated killing, generally of a human. It can't really be applied to bears. Also, though the bear probably was scared, it had no idea of knowing what was going to happen to it. Bear sacrifice definitely seems cruel and strange by modern standards, but it is a part of an ancient and mostly vanished culture. The Ainu historically believed that they were not "murdering" the bear but "sending it off" to the world of the gods (i.e., the intent of the ceremony is not cruelty or violence). If you believe the practice should be outlawed nowadays that is fine, but I don't think it's fair to describe the traditional ceremony as being about 'murder.'
@@terrapinalive8686 I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm saying that 1) it's not technically "murder" and 2) the ancient people who performed this ritual didn't regard it as cruelty.
About 25 years later many in the country were starving because of the war. About 25 years after that the country is one of the world's leading economies. How quickly things change.
Same for South Korea. Although Japan's cities were pretty modern at this time, you'd see people with suits and top hats, a European style army which defeated China in a short war, and rapid industrialisation.
@@tigervalley62 Asian exceptionalism? Asia is unique. Europe is unique. Australia is unique and Africa is unique but everywhere is full of people who are pretty much the same.
This footage is really excellent. There is next to no records of the Ainu when they were still a strong community in the North. Like the Emishi, they are vanishing and it's great to see what life was like almost 100 years ago.
the spelling of Ainu needs to be corrected. They are not call Anus. (that is something else entirely) (around 4:03) Kind of sad to see the racist attitudes rather than the attitude of curiosity for different cultures. It is difficult for me to admire Christian organizations due to the attitude of superiority that is often projected.
I would really like to see more old culture bc it's interesting to me I predict future generations are gonna be interested to about ours even though some of ours are a bit irritating.
Interesting dance and drinking ritual those Ainus had. Most every group of people used to have their own dances and rituals that they would perform together. Seeing it so spread out over the world, in every corner of every continent among natives and in the ancient cultures of civilisations, makes you realise it served some very important role. Who knows, a simple thing like that might just ease stress and be beneficial to the growing mental troubles of our current lives, as well as bring people together. It's one of those things completely lost to modern humans, that we don't think about.
very true comment, exactly my thinking when i was watching the dance. There was a time maybe one century ago when children would hold hands and rotate in a circl to play together. We are in a downward spiral trend at the present for sure.

@Kein Herz アニ Yes, you're right, the Japanese atrocities were on another level tho. You can't deny it, even Stalin would cringe knowing that. Fortunately, the people totally changed and the culture remained, that's why I love Japan, but I wish their education would teach about what have been committed because they ignore everything (and this originally was because of McArthur polotic, but I think he did the right thing at that time, not executing the emperor etc).
They lived in harmony with nature, sustaining their environment, not destroying it slowly away and their community was happy before external invasion. They worked plenty and this was filmed at a time of festival after harvest and those patterned clothes is designed and weaved by them, not bought at wall mart made in China.
The idea that the Ainu are a "missing link" between Caucasians and East Asians has since been disproven, but it is nevertheless very interesting to see footage of a lost culture.

Так вот кто экономику Японии поднял, оказывается во всех направлениях вкалывали женщины, умирали от туберкулёза, убирались в домах мужчин, ростили детей, а мужики пьянствовали и в основном все военные были, да надзиратели.

Ainu resemble externally and culturally Ural type of "Russian". This refers to the peoples of the Urals and Western Siberia. A cross between European and Asian types. It is a mystery of ancient Japan before its colonization from the territory of modern Korea. Айны напоминают внешне и культурно уральский тип "русских". Имеется в виду народов Урала и Запада Сибири. Помесь европейского и азиатского типов. Это загадка древней Японии до колонизации её с территории современной Кореи.
+Raj Kapoor That is debatable. Unless you have forgotten what the Japanese did in history. I am not saying all Japanese are bad. It is common in society that most people are ignorant, bad, and evil; while there are only a few good people.
Very interesting, but couldn't they have corrected the speed? I have seen other films of the same era that have been corrected, why not this one? It gives a false impression of how people moved and danced - makes them look like puppets.
The Edo period ended around 1868 after that swords were banned. So lets see. Lets say a samurai was born in 1848 or early to mid 50's. He'd be 20 or younger around teh time Edo period ended. So in 1919 there could have most likely been old men around their 70's or 80's that were training to become samurai when Edo period ended and even had contact with masters and everything still alive somewhere in japan. Look for the old folk. Most likely they were alive near the end of the Edo period
Wow. Thank you. Did you study Japanese history. I know some facts but nothing too in depth. Still what a fascinating country compared to what they going through while the rest of the world was advancing.
sooooo.... if they were in wood technology, who built the giant stone buildings and canals in the video? were they hut people or were they stone building builders?
This movie is a priceless record of Japan and Japanese people in early 20th century. It seems to me that life was hard, and Japanese people looked malnourished and shorter than today`s Japanese. I feel lucky indeed just because I live in Japan in 21st century. At least, my life is much better and comfortable than my ancestors` 100 years ago.
With deep thought I'm not sure people can say they live better today than at these times. Maybe in a materialistic at-the-moment sense but the people of these times did not suffer from the stresses of working at meaningless jobs, revolving debts, invasive advertisements/technology, uncertainty for the future, and the loneliness so many face today. People lived in community with each other and they look genuinely happy with their lives full of purpose.
To think, the Tribe Chief's great grandfather was probably born in 1750. His great grandfather probably lived through the great Edo period. Just amazing.
@@AvrahamYairStern After Meiji's death, Japan began to indulge in samurai. Katanas were again legalized. Maybe it's a fake samurai, of course. But this does not mean that they did not exist.
@@OdiosCreations At a time when Japan was still isolationist, the USA sent Commodore Matthew C. Perry there to secure a trade deal. After a showing of the naval power he commanded, Perry sent the Emperor of Japan a white flag and a letter. Referring to the efforts of other imperialist countries, Perry wrote on July 14, 1853: “For years several countries have applied for trade, but you have opposed them on account of a national law. You have thus acted against divine principles and your sin cannot be greater than it is.” Referring to his own efforts to secure a trade deal, Perry continued: “If you are still to disagree we would then take up arms and inquire into the sin against the divine principles, and you would also make sure of your law and fight in defence. When one considers such an occasion, however, one will realize the victory will naturally be ours and you shall by no means overcome us. If in such a situation you seek for a reconciliation, you should put up the white flag that we have recently presented to you, and we would accordingly stop firing and conclude peace with you, turning our battleships aside. Commodore Perry” In this manner, the USA secured a trade deal with Japan. Subsequently, other western imperialist countries secured trade deals with Japan. The demands of international trade led to a new centralized government in Japan. The new centralized Japanese government learned imperialism from its new western partners.

Trappers set out to the bear caves at the end of winter, while the bears are still in a state of torpor. If they find a newborn cub, they kill the mother and take the cub back to the village, where they raise it indoors, as if it were one of their own children. It is said that they even provide the cub with their own breast milk. When the cub grows larger, they take it outdoors, and put it into a small pen made of logs. Throughout their lives, the bears are provided with high-quality food. The cubs are treated as, and traditionally believed to be, gods. After the cub reaches one or two years of age, they release it from the cell and place it in the center of the village, where it is tied to a post with a rope. The males in the village then take shots at the cub with bows and arrows. Even at the age of two years, the brown bears are quite large, and it usually takes numerous shots before they fall. After the bear has been weakened from numerous arrow strikes and is too weak to defend itself, one villager will approach the bear and shoot it in the neck point-blank, to ensure that it is dead. The villagers then slit the bear's throat and drink the blood. The bear is skinned, and the meat is distributed amongst the villagers. Its bare skull is placed on a spear, which is then rewrapped with the bear's own fur. This "doll" is an object of worship for the villagers. The bear has now been "sent off" to the world of the gods.
hard work and artificial intelligence made Japan a great economic power Japan toke house hold products invented in other nations and digitized them and later made them even smarter, efficient and durable later on they did the same with heavy equipment and machinery from high speed train and wheel loaders to oil tankers all that because of a culture that values work .
This film is now more than one hundred years old. A precious glimpse back in time. The clothing of the Ainu is particularly beautiful, such elaborate stitching & embellishment.
Change the play speed to 0.5 so it's more realistic.
I tested all the speeds. Definitely .5 for realistic human movement 👍
Old movies were filmed at a lower number of frames per second. That's why they appear sped-up when played back at normal speed. Charlie Chaplin films come to mind.

Так вот кто экономику Японии поднял, оказывается во всех направлениях вкалывали женщины, умирали от туберкулёза, убирались в домах мужчин, ростили детей, а мужики пьянствовали и в основном все военные были, да надзиратели.
Андрей Ли да по сути так раньше почти везде было. Даже если почитать русскую классику как на Руси в деревнях жили. Тупо батрачили бабы в поле, рожали там же, а мужики либо бухали либо воевали

By good fortune the Japanese managed to keep the Portuguese at bay, otherwise they would all be singing, "Ave Maria".
Orientals are not as dumb as many non-white groups. Should be hard to dominate them
ok boomer
Better siniging ave Maria than extinct I guess.
They don't show the soul of the bear being 'freed'.
04:03 isn’t that supposed to be Ainus not “anus”?
INCREDIBLE typo at 4:01
Ainu resemble externally and culturally Ural type of "Russian". This refers to the peoples of the Urals and Western Siberia. A cross between European and Asian types. It is a mystery of ancient Japan before its colonization from the territory of modern Korea.
Айны напоминают внешне и культурно уральский тип "русских". Имеется в виду народов Урала и Запада Сибири. Помесь европейского и азиатского типов. Это загадка древней Японии до колонизации её с территории современной Кореи.

I Love japanise people they are very Humble, Jimi Modi from india
+Raj Kapoor That is debatable. Unless you have forgotten what the Japanese did in history. I am not saying all Japanese are bad. It is common in society that most people are ignorant, bad, and evil; while there are only a few good people.
I would love to see this with modern film inset to show 100 years later the places, people, and modern Ainus people customs.
Why are they walking with canes? They are like 30 years old.
Very interesting, but couldn't they have corrected the speed? I have seen other films of the same era that have been corrected, why not this one? It gives a false impression of how people moved and danced - makes them look like puppets.
I find sad that every single person in this video has passed out, but im wondering... what things will be the people talking about us in 100 years?
I feel sorry for the poor little bear...
あの子熊は何してんやろ
Holy crap is that a samurai? 9:19.
Yep.
I think that's just cosplay. Samurai is already gone around 150 years ago from now.
Maybe he's dressed up trying to get money from ignorant tourists.
The Edo period ended around 1868 after that swords were banned. So lets see. Lets say a samurai was born in 1848 or early to mid 50's. He'd be 20 or younger around teh time Edo period ended. So in 1919 there could have most likely been old men around their 70's or 80's that were training to become samurai when Edo period ended and even had contact with masters and everything still alive somewhere in japan. Look for the old folk. Most likely they were alive near the end of the Edo period
Wow. Thank you. Did you study Japanese history. I know some facts but nothing too in depth. Still what a fascinating country compared to what they going through while the rest of the world was advancing.
wait a minute those ainu man look like melanesian people
Poor Bear !
2119 people look at the videos of lives of people of 2019, by that time most of us now will be dead. Just the way it is...
1:40 IM WAAAAALKIN HEEEERE
sooooo.... if they were in wood technology, who built the giant stone buildings and canals in the video? were they hut people or were they stone building builders?
Wow, footage like this is rare, and a real treat to see
Gosto da cultura Japonesa

This movie is a priceless record of Japan and Japanese people in early 20th century. It seems to me that life was hard, and Japanese people looked malnourished and shorter than today`s Japanese. I feel lucky indeed just because I live in Japan in 21st century. At least, my life is much better and comfortable than my ancestors` 100 years ago.
With deep thought I'm not sure people can say they live better today than at these times. Maybe in a materialistic at-the-moment sense but the people of these times did not suffer from the stresses of working at meaningless jobs, revolving debts, invasive advertisements/technology, uncertainty for the future, and the loneliness so many face today. People lived in community with each other and they look genuinely happy with their lives full of purpose.
what would do justice to the footage is speed correction
at 0.5 it looks much more natural
5:12 i wish we would party like this today. :D
To think, the Tribe Chief's great grandfather was probably born in 1750. His great grandfather probably lived through the great Edo period. Just amazing.
01:37 poor buffalo.
"God! What have l got to do with this freakin' drunken winos"!!
- the little 🐻 bear
Back when Japan had men.
9:18 real Samurai
No, the Samurai were abolished in the 1880's. Also notice, he is wearing his Katana the wrong way round, he is probably there for ceremonial reasons.
I think it’s just a costume, just like we have people dressed up as knights in castles today, to entertain the tourists.
@@AvrahamYairStern After Meiji's death, Japan began to indulge in samurai. Katanas were again legalized. Maybe it's a fake samurai, of course. But this does not mean that they did not exist.
Def staged for effect at 1:35 Still better acting than Billy Bob in Slingblade.
What happened to the bear, man? 🧐
Sacrificed. Killed.
04:00 that must be the worst typo in history....

everyone is now a ghost. this may be the first time in my life when everyone filmed is definitely now gone. that's kinda weird.
Beautiful film, but what are they doing to that poor bear (6:00)? He looks really scared and in much pain :(
6:38 that kid probably went to ww2 :o
7:18 That law about the 12 hour work day hasn't changed and it's 2020.
This video makes me envy my grand grand children. I hope they'll feel the same when they watch videos of our every day life today in 2119.
Your comment is too thoughtful and intelligent, to go viral ^^
Good comment

Fast forward 50 years and you have Sony, Yamaha, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda.
It's not material thing's that make one strong
Seriously, how did that happen?
If you look at the people that live by the sea, you will see electric lines.
@@OdiosCreations At a time when Japan was still isolationist, the USA sent Commodore Matthew C. Perry there to secure a trade deal.
After a showing of the naval power he commanded, Perry sent the Emperor of Japan a white flag and a letter.
Referring to the efforts of other imperialist countries, Perry wrote on July 14, 1853:
“For years several countries have applied for trade, but you have opposed them on account of a national law. You have thus acted against divine principles and your sin cannot be greater than it is.”
Referring to his own efforts to secure a trade deal, Perry continued:
“If you are still to disagree we would then take up arms and inquire into the sin against the divine principles, and you would also make sure of your law and fight in defence. When one considers such an occasion, however, one will realize the victory will naturally be ours and you shall by no means overcome us. If in such a situation you seek for a reconciliation, you should put up the white flag that we have recently presented to you, and we would accordingly stop firing and conclude peace with you, turning our battleships aside.
Commodore Perry”
In this manner, the USA secured a trade deal with Japan.
Subsequently, other western imperialist countries secured trade deals with Japan.
The demands of international trade led to a new centralized government in Japan.
The new centralized Japanese government learned imperialism from its new western partners.
@@gleehug What? That sounds like a scene from a wild west movie but it does add up. I guess the good old US of A has been at "it" for much longer than most of us know.
going to a foreign country back then mustve actually felt so foreign. nowadays u go abroad and it doesnt feel too different besides a few thing. modernization kind of made everything the same and when everyone speaks english it wont feel anydifferent than home... boring
1:39 喧嘩すんなやw
They should do a comparison 100 years later (as I write this)
Trappers set out to the bear caves at the end of winter, while the bears are still in a state of torpor. If they find a newborn cub, they kill the mother and take the cub back to the village, where they raise it indoors, as if it were one of their own children. It is said that they even provide the cub with their own breast milk. When the cub grows larger, they take it outdoors, and put it into a small pen made of logs. Throughout their lives, the bears are provided with high-quality food. The cubs are treated as, and traditionally believed to be, gods.
After the cub reaches one or two years of age, they release it from the cell and place it in the center of the village, where it is tied to a post with a rope. The males in the village then take shots at the cub with bows and arrows. Even at the age of two years, the brown bears are quite large, and it usually takes numerous shots before they fall. After the bear has been weakened from numerous arrow strikes and is too weak to defend itself, one villager will approach the bear and shoot it in the neck point-blank, to ensure that it is dead. The villagers then slit the bear's throat and drink the blood. The bear is skinned, and the meat is distributed amongst the villagers. Its bare skull is placed on a spear, which is then rewrapped with the bear's own fur. This "doll" is an object of worship for the villagers. The bear has now been "sent off" to the world of the gods.
hard work and artificial intelligence made Japan a great economic power Japan toke house hold products invented in other nations and digitized them and later made them even smarter, efficient and durable later on they did the same with heavy equipment and machinery from high speed train and wheel loaders to oil tankers all that because of a culture that values work .
1:29 Just like modern America - "I have a big truck therefore I *ALWAYS* have right of way."🙄
たった100年前なのに。。。えらい昔に感じる
