Early films shown to large Japanese audiences included shorts by the Lumiere brothers and Edison.

    HISTORY OF JAPANESE ANIMATION

    The Japanese entertainment world was resulting from the interest with Edison's Kinetoscope. The
    Kinetoscope had been first appeared in New York in 1894, and after two years the Japanese imported a
    few to their urban areas. This was a time of festivity and curiosity as the Sino-Japanese war had been
    won in 1895 with Japan constraining the Chinese attack out of Korea; demonstrating that Japan could
    conform to the cutting edge human progress [sic] which under fifty years sooner had shown up
    thumping at the shut doors of the nation in the individual of Commodore Perry. It was the rule of
    Emperor Meiji, crossing a long time from 1868 to 1912, which invited a time of quick business extension.
    In 1897, the Lumière siblings' Cinématographe shown up with a blended bill of movies including
    'Baignade en Mer' and 'L'Arrivée d'un Train en Gare'. This was trailed by the Edison Vitascope and its
    movies 'The Death of Mary Queen of Scots' and 'Taking care of Pigeons'. These creative projectors were
    incredibly famous with the Japanese, including the future Emperor Taisho. People in general were
    showing up in their thousands to watch these movies and kept on doing as such for an additional twenty
    years. All through this period the Japanese were bringing in movies from Europe and the United States.
