The first kendo motion picture - from 1897

This is the first motion picture about kendo. (So the word “probably“ in the movie title is not correct and it was confirmed after I had made the title.) According to the deleted french narrator the film was shot in Kyoto during a kind of warming-up training of a kendo competition at the end of October 1897 by Constant Girel. Louis Lumière was apparently not satisfied with the work of Girel, for unknown reasons. Anyway, this is a true treasue of the Kendo World. ***I do not own any copy
