vue - Japan 1925: rice growing at foot Mt.Fuji

1. In one of my interviews I have explained that I made many films of Far Eastern countries myself. After uploading those on YouTube viewers asked whether I didn't have more and I started searching and buying old films, which I have had digitalized also. Since then I have some eight million viewers for my 780 vids!
2. Now for my comment! When I first clicked on this video, I was thinking "I already know what rice planting looks like..." so I was very pleasantly surprised to see many details that I didn't know about. The foot-powered water wheel, the windmills (I didn't realize Japan utilized those before), and the ladder used to plant rice in a straight row. All fascinating to see! Thank you as always for posting such great material!
3. 今度、一部だけ翻訳します： - Michael - for this one I'll translate just a tiny part (this one is more difficult and I don't want to do it wrong): "I'm assuming that you must have access to various film archives."
4. I just posted a translation of the Japanese comment (replying to the poster above). Probably not perfect, but I believe accurate in overall content and intent.
5. こんにちは！ とりあえず、以上のコメントを翻訳します: Michael - here is a translation I just did of the above: "I often wonder how you come to have so many valuable old videos like this one. I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to see aspects of (former) daily life from both my own country and other countries that I didn't know about. It produces profound feelings when I think that my own grandfather and grandmother may have lived like this. Thank you very much for making this material available to watch."
6. Sorry, but I cannot read Japanese characters.
7. おそらくヒントは検索キーワードにあるのではないでしょうか？私自身そのことを疑問に思いフィルム最後のエンドロールにあるアーカイブにたどり着きました。 マイケルさんは世界にたくさんあるそういったアーカイブの場所を知っているのだと思います。そして語学も堪能ですね。 オランダ人は古きも新しきも我々に教えてくださる民族ですね。尊敬します。
8. such a beautiful life at those moments before the war ruined it all, thanks for uploading this precious documentary :)
9. Thank!
10. Thank you for uploading many great historic films. 
11. I do not understand Japanese so have this translated through Google. I'm 83 years old and picture the world in my clips when I was a youth. When this film was made I was not even born yet. However, I have climbed the slopes of the Mt. Fuji 50 years ago and filmed what I saw then.
12. MT FUJI BLEW MY MIND
13. My paintings and prints come alive. Wonderful.
14. Thank for the uploading! From hk
15. いつも思うのですがmichaelさんはなぜこのような貴重な映像をたくさんお持ちなのでしょうか？自分も知らない祖国の過去や世界中の人々の普通の生活が垣間見れてとても感謝しています。自分の祖父や祖母がこのような生活を送っていたのかもしれないと思うととても感慨深いです。ありがとうございます。
16. Long long ago Japanese life! Amazing movie!
