It’s 2020. Perhaps you’ve been to Japan (or even live here), but if not you can always see copious clips of what life is like in the country. But what about, say, over a hundred years ago?

There is video about, of course, but YouTube user Denis Shiryaev has upscaled footage taken in Japan between 1913 to 1915. The FPS has been increased to 60 frames per second. The images have been enhanced to 4K, with damaged frames removed, the faces of people enhanced, and the footage has been colorized as well.

The ambient sound was previously added by Guy Jones, who also corrected the original footage’s speed. You can watch that clip below.
