TOKYO JAPAN-1971: Vintage 8mm film frames from an instructional karate training film, showing Japanese text credits for martial arts techniques. The first frame displays the names of two martial artists, Shiro Yamamoto (6th Dan) and Akira Haneishi (5th Dan), with their ranks in Japanese and English. The subsequent frames list specific karate techniques—Te-Waza (hand techniques)—including Uki Otoshi (floating drop), Seoi Nage (shoulder throw), and Kata Guruma (shoulder wheel)—with their Japanese characters and English translations. The footage features white text on a dark background, characteristic of 1970s home movie educational films, with visible film grain and slight flicker. This authentic archival material is ideal for documentaries, historical content, or nostalgic projects about martial arts in Japan.
