One of the most fascinating exhibits on the Midway at the Pan-American Exposition is the Japanese Village. This space occupies about one and one-half acres of ground. It is dotted with pretty miniature lakes, the famous Japanese circle bridges, groves, tea houses, etc. We secured an excellent picture of this village while a troupe of Japanese acrobats were performing. The acrobats themselves are in the foreground of the picture and form the principal feature. The entire length of the film is replete with difficult acrobatic tricks, performed by one of the most skilled troupes in the world. (Edison Catalog)

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Japanese Village (1901) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Edison must have had dozens of cameras at the Pan-American Exposition because we got dozens of films from them. This one here is about three-minutes and takes a look at the Japanese village that was set up at the exposition. We see three kids performing various stage acts including various back flips, handstands and handsprings. This isn't the greatest film that Edison made but it's a pretty entertaining one and I especially loved the set that was on display at the exposition. The entire frame is full of terrific images from the various plants that were used to the building in the background that also had a balcony. The three performers are pretty good at what they do but the real eye candy is the background stuff.
