Using archival footage from EYE of Japanese life in 1913-1915, video editor Guy Jones not only speed corrected the footage, but he added ambient sound to bring the video to life.

Programer Denis Shiryaev then used Guy Jones updated footage and colorized it and also upscaled it to 4K 60 fps to give us the fascinating footage above.

You can tell by the curious onlookers in each clip that people were definitely not used to seeing a video camera!
