#Inabata Katsutaro

[kyotodreamtrips]

One of Kyoto’s favourite Cherry blossom spots is this picturesque street along the Takase River in the heart of Kyoto! You can walk and enjoy the cherry trees along the embankment from Nijō-Kiyamachi to Jujo Dori, although that would be quite a walk. The central part is between Sanjo Dori and Shijo Dori. There are many bars, restaurants, and shops in this part of Kyoto, and with patience, you can spot some Maiko strolling along in colourful kimonos.

GK 204:  Les Aïnous à Yéso

New charac-

Ah! Cinematographers!

Maybe I’m stretching but...

Meet:-

Inabata Katsutaro

and 

François-Constant Girel(コンスタン・ジレル)

...

Nah...reaching would have been mistaking ‘em for Ryuzo Torii or rather the completely unrelated Kazuo Funada, the eyebrows, man! and Bronisław Piłsudski(Wilk’s dads model) who kept a similar beard in my defence.

Ryuzo Torii(an antropologist) is the guy who did much pioneering work when it came to the field of documenting photographically. And then holding screenings/seminar-like on the topics. He mostly worked in Taiwan but also documented Karafuto Ainu and Kuril Ainu especially.

Nah its them

Les Aïnous à Yéso / Ainu in Ezo / 蝦夷のアイヌ（Oct, 1897)

It comprised of a short under a minute shot by Girel who went to a Kotan in some area around Muroran/Shiraoi(nearby to Noboribetsu). With help of French missionaries who acted as interpreters he shot two sequences.

It was screened in Osaka and Nagoya under the titles "Dance of Hokkaido Ainu Men and Women" and "Bear Dance of Hokkaido Ainu"
