Before I tweet the controversial Korean comfort women issue, I put videos during the period of annexation of Korea. Fake News & Korean Propaganda created the "demonizing Japan & victimhood" by the pro-N.Korea≒Anti-Japanese activists ≒ N.Korean spies, & unfairly accuse Japan.

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-2.This film was originally shot by Father Norbert Weber(1870-1956), head of the Missionary Benedictines, during his 2nd visit to Korea in 1925. some 15,000 meters of raw film, documents of daily life of Koreans, his classes & missionary activities

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-3.
Fr. Weber was abbot of the archabbey of St. Ottilien in Germany, made this film in order to show the country, its culture & the order’s activities to people in German. Freedom of religion in Korea of Japanese era. School & education were set up

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-4.
The state of the athletic meet started by the Japanese government is full of energy. This athletic meet at primary school in Hamgyong Province was shot on 22, 5,1925. The competition games to keep lantern candle on till goal,& scavenger hunting

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-5.

kindergarten children with the Rising Sun Flag←(Koreans used love ”Rising Sun Flag”🥰 till 2012, now hate it). Children enjoy swings& Stone picking game.A happy young couple loves their baby.Korean seems love to dance with a drum humorously.

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-6.
What is the actual forced labor & suffered in the "Japanese rule of Korea"? Learning a "Korean traditional Embroidery" by their nuns/teacher(?). They are very good at it.
They play bit different style of Japanese children's game "Kagome Kagome"

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-7.

The energetic Korean boy’s games look like mixed the Japanese children's game "Kagome Kagome" & "Cavalry battle",& the martial arts/sumo(?) seems very rough, but they looks enjoying these games(filmed@Hamgyong Province is N.Korean territory).

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-8.

A mother sloppily dressed & carrying child on her back at market in the film. It was Korean culture, women who gave birth, proudly show off their boobs. Japan order to stop the custom. Girl is showing new dance proudly & boy humorously dances.

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-9.
Offering shoes to ancestor?Making straw shoes.
Korean ceramics& big kimchi pot?
I thought that the bald mountains in Korean Peninsula caused by Ondol, but probably caused by Korean pottery kiln which require huge fire. Japanese kilns need less.

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-10
Fr. Weber's trips/walks? Crowded @ market.
It's a little dirty, but better in the Japanese rule 100 years ago than the citizen in modern N.Korea. The Korean War refugees fled to Japan, so the Korean claim "Japanese massacred Korean"is a lie!

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-11.

Korean family and everyday scenery in Korea. Kids are so cute helping parents & looking after their younger brother and sisters. The treatment on caw is cruel..
I can see that the Korean ceramic pots are very important for Korean life.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-12.
I heard the blind man is well respected judge & the man tied up by rope was a probably minor　crime at trial. If it's a misdemeanor, I think the "punishment" is bare ass whipping.
Also, accountants, machinists, polishers, woodworkers, etc.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-13
Agricultural rural scenery. Korean couldn't make a water wheel, mainly cultivated upland rice by direct sowing. The rice paddy fields are Japanese settlers made & tripled rice yields & eliminated starvation in Korea. N.Korea back to starvation

Taiwanese never forget & give back gratitude.
Ms.Limuiabeo, Takasago tribe Chief "We couldn't make rice fields, couldn't plant seeds & grow. All taught by Japanese". Same to Korean Peninsula, cultivated paddy fields, build Sup'ung Dam, supply electricity & education system. damn!

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-14

I don't know what they are cultivating, some are grape. Fr. Weber was helped the field work by volunteer workers or hired peasant.
Sediment transport workers with straw basket.
The shovel work involved 3 people?

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-15

Women spinning on cotton wheels. wash, dye cotton(?) thread.
The Korean style "weaving machine" is hard work.
I understand that why Korean didn't have a dyeing technology, and They could able to wearing colored cloth under the Japanese rule.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-16

The Korean primitive style of "weaving" forces a wasteful effort, It probably will take more than 10 times longer than Japanese weaving.
Even more effort at outside.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-17

Clergy mission & acceptance, baptism, worship day?

Non of Korean did the "Korean traditional greeting" 100 years ago. Created only lately.
Let get back Japanese traditional greeting style of "Ogasawara style Courtesy"

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-18

Sermon/Prayer/Confession/Worship day/
Festival/celebration？＆funeral.
Freedom of religion is obvious there. Japanese rule didn't kill Korean by rumours of "wife of Kim Jong Un had appeared in a porn video"or by personal different opinion.

Bizarre Government recommendation, Kim Joun-un announces the new hair cut rule, women can have 18 hair cut & men only 1, Kim Joun-un ignore the rule.
Kim Joun-un killed Uncle,brutally kills many of his military commands in public execution. nuclear weapons, people starving death

Korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-19

Christian funeral?

Fr. Weber seems to be returning to Germany.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-20

This a traditional Korean funeral.
The traditional Chinese courtesy of "3 kneelings & 9 grand Kowtow"(三跪九叩頭礼) for worship.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-21

The continuation of the Korean funeral & the "3 kneelings & 9 grand Kowtow"(三跪九叩頭礼).

The Buddhist altar is different, but the mortuary tablet was the same as in Japan.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-22

Fr. Weber to be served a meal at the house he visited.
Participated in shogi (将棋?)game?
a nun is giving eye drops for young children.

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-23

Nun's treatment & festival or celebration.

Peace on the Korean Peninsula is devastated by the Korean War. Not by Japanese rule.
Please stop resenting Japan by lying about the annexation of Korea was a "dark age of horror" like the Korean War

korea 100 years ago-silent Movie-24

Japan has restored the tattered temples & Buddha statues, but destroyed by the Korean war.
Please stop the anti-Japanese education & not abet the hatred toward Japanese by falsify history.
Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea is created after WW2

Japan imported sheep to Korea from Australia in 1930s. but interpreted negatively
“North Joseon Sheep Speak” shows how Japan exploited Korean labor to boost competitiveness in the wool industry.'

Exploited?
Economic boost is important to have better life. damn idiot hopeless💢

Documentary 2017 - North Korea_ Life Inside the Secret State.
The life in North Korea is terrible.
The Korean looks happier 100 years ago than N.Korea in present.

Korea voice on this missionary video"The state of the athletic meet at Hamgyong Province primary school taken on May 22, 1925.” & "In the mid-1920s, a new style of education was introduced & children's play changed dramatically. Young girls began to learn a new dance called Yuhi.

Korea 1930s

Korea 1930s Part 2

Korean women r making "Comfort bags" for sending goods to Korean soldiers on front line. During the annexed era, the population in the Korean peninsula was comprised of 2-4% Japanese & more than 80% of Govt, officials were Korean. Mayers, Detectives, Inspectors also Korean by1935

The state of departing Korean volunteer soldiers @ station in Korea in 1937. Many family came from far away & helping preparing meals, sweat wiping in summer, washing, hair cut. So many Korean waved the"Japanese flag & rising sun flag" to sending volunteer soldiers off at station

Korean claim 200.000 Korean girls were abducted & forced to be sex slaves to Japanese army. The number inflated to 400.000 & will increase more. Contradictory 80.000 Korean men applied for the Japanese volunteer soldiers annually. Is it possible Korean men don't help their women?

Honorary volunteer application79.600. in Korean newspaper1940.
The celebration ceremony of implementation of the volunteer system & the new education system in Korea under Japanese rule.
The former President of S.Korea Park Geun-hye is one of them

"The commemorating the entrance of Korean volunteers 6, Dec, 1945"
Korean say "Forced Mobilization”photo＆ exhibited at the Japanese Emperor Forced Mobilization History Museum in Busan.

But volunteering could not be carried out without support & cooperation of Korean society.

This video explain well how Korean twisted & fabricated the Korean volunteers soldiers.
S.Korean Government suppressing these professors whose academic study of inconvenient truth about S.Korean fabricated history.

This former Korean volunteer soldier tell "I fought my life for Japan". And sing Japanese songs nostalgically in Japanese.

Korean thought that they were Japanese at the time. They won't be volunteer soldiers if they didn't have a patriotism as Japanese.

Applicants of Military soldier continued increased in Korea during WW2. It is inconvenient truth for anti-Japanese Koreans. Some Korean newspaper had been twisting as the recruitment was unilateral. The truth is they could apply for the recruitment till 4,Dec,1945 Mainichi Shinpo

The Korean language movie"Volunteer soldiers"was made by all Korean. Except music & recording audio, the Producer, Script writer, Actors, Cameraman,etc, were all Korean name.
Evidence of Korean lie "Japan ripped off Korean name, forced Japanese name & suppressed their language"

1940 movie "Tuition fee". Received the Government-General of Korea Award.
Although it is spoken in Japanese at school, they usually speak in Hangul. If Japan banned using Hangul during the Japanese era, Korean probably lost speaking their own language.
I don't know why they lie.

Korean Hangul movie "Spring of Peninsula". Synopsis is the sociological point of view of the Korean film, which depicts the process of making the film, & the human relations. The main actor of Korean go to Japan for getting fund for fill the lack of funds of Korean film industry.

A Japanese-Korean co-production movie "Watchtower's Death Corps" shot under Japanese rule 1943. It depicts a border guard police officer fight against anti-Japanese guerrilla @ Manchurian-Korean border. Korean police officer sings & dances in Korean @ a party for welcome a newbie

I missed the movie title.
In the N.China(S.Mongolia was ally), a Comfort woman price was ¥5.50. Korean comfort woman talks about her dream,"Our purpose is to earn as much as possible & open a coffee shop at Shinjuku after WW2”

I got most of videos from
twitter.com/yukin_done

[silent]
Korean had been worshiped "Chōsen Shrine” & show respect during Japanese era.
Anti-Japanese fundamentalists will say that it was forced. It's same as many Korean became Christian after the Korean war.

but Korean said "they visited there by their own will most of time"

"Many Koreans voluntarily visited the shrine" Kyunghyang Shinmun_News paper in Korea on 2, 10,1968

Visit "Chōsen Shrine” looks very relaxed in the Idyllic landscape. Korean wear better & clean cloth than before the annexation of Korea.

This place became the "Anti-Japanese sanctuary" these days.

Worship Kim Il-Sung seems hard. N.Korea went backward to the ruling class of Yangban & slaves system in Chōsen era.
Kim & his comrades dominated the ruling class,& bottom were families of people who collaborated with Japan & their descendants. Can't marry outside social division

S.Korean author's Kim Wan-Sop's keynote speech in 2003_part 1.

He didn't say anything wrong but inconvenient truth to S.Korea. He had been threatened & suppressed by Korean nationalists & Government.
He have been hiding in S.Korean society. I wish he is well.

Annexation of Korea 1910-1945 Part 1.
The " Rise & fall of the Japanese Empire" by the discovery Channel, which I used to love to watch. But It was full of prejudice & hoax documentary film by victor nation.

Annexation of Korea 1910-1945 Part 2.

truth was not like what the film said.
However, Korea by herself can't falsify history, so I feel the victor nations must be supporting..
(This video is same as previously uploaded, subtitle is only difference. sorry)

Japan didn't invade Korea. Korea asked Japan for the annexation. And helped the poorest asian country "Corea- the Hermit Nation" where didn't have resources to exploit. it's only geopolitically important area to stop Soviet union's invasion. set up education system, taught hangul

Annexation of Korea 1910-1945 Part 4.

The former president of S.korea said "the Japanese education system was fair," He became Lieutenant of Japanese army. Korean had full suffrage, Korean politician Park Junk-eun won election in Japan. Mayors, Detectives, police were Koreans.

Annexation of Korea 1910-1945 Part 5.
Japanese settlers planted 6M trees on the bails mountains for stop the flood, damage crops & endless starvation. N.Korea suffers it even now. GDP growth & national income increased. Developed infrastructures, Constructed the hydroelectric dam

Part 6
The state of 19th century Korea was very similar to the present N.Korea. Majority of population were staving & enslaved by corrupt bureaucrats called Yongban. Korea chose to be annexed by Japan. This move was welcomed by the majority of Koreans, but was resented by Yangban

In Korean wilds & Villages by Sten Bergman."The Korean is not delighted with the Japanese rule but things go well with him & quite ready to admit that Japan has done a great deal for the welfare of the country

〜If Japan hadn't taken Korea, either Russia or China would have done so for the country was in a demoralised condition&unable to look after itself. Japan’s annexation of Korea was the only thing possible for their welfare, even if they feel that she has gone a little too far...

Glimpses of Korea1923-3 by E J.Urquhart

Korea was in just this terrible condition when the Western world discovered the Eastern world.

it was time to save the Kingdom of Korea from its own officials & corrupt & cruel government

The Economist explains "Why so many Koreans are called Kim"(Partly erased now)
economist.com/the-economist-…
>Why is there so little diversity on Korean surnames? Slaves, outcast such as butchers, shamans, prostitutes, artisans traders & monks, didn't have the luxury of a family name

British official document.
Recruitment of Koreans. Korean volunteers who were called for twice yearly, had been accepted for Japan Army since’37.
4000men were accepted yearly & were allowed to adopt Japanese names, When ‘W(?) enlisted Jun ’41.

scholarsinenglish.blogspot.com
Professor Alleyne Ireland "It is true that at the time Japan annexed Korea in 1910,the actual conditions of life in the Peninsula were extremely bad.the stupidity, cruelty&corruption throughout Korea. Koreans had suffered for generation after generation.

Professor Atul Kohli confirmed Alleyne Ireland's conviction."The average life span of the Koreans doubled & the population doubled from 12 million to over 25 million due to the institution of modern healthcare under the Japanese.
Economic output increased tenfold from 1910-45.

The formerU.S President Herbert Hoover visited Korea in 1909 &1946. his Book"Freedom Betrayed"
>I first visited Korea in 1909, The Korean people at the time were in the most disheartening condition. During the 35yeras of Japanese control, the life of the Korean was revolutionized

Korean think that the Japanese rule of Korea had been nothing but brutal exploitation of resources in Korea. However, the Korean population steadily growing up as if there hadn't been in WW2 during the Japanese rule. In fact, it was in peace till USSR start invasion on 9, 8,1945

US president Theodore Roosevelt served as mediator on 8/9/1905
Korea was the buffer state.
Korea unable to function as an independent buffer state.Japan took control of Korea as US deemed Korea to be unfit to govern itself.
Japan gained control of Liaotung, S,Manchurian railroad.

①Korea was the one that requested to be part of Japan, A telegraph sent by Iljinhoe( Korea's leading political party) requesting japan to annex Korea.

②Korean Opinion
③Original text of the Korean agreement
④Official signing of Korea-Japan agreement
minnanohiroshi.blog95.fc2.com/blog-date-2007…

There are more pics&evidence how most of Korean cerebrated the annexation at the time. Also,Korean ruling party sent Japan begged＆ threatened as if not Annex Korea, Japan will became like Qing dynasty's downfall. If you won't able to read the Chinese characters, No point to talk

How ever, Korea always betrays after they got money. Korean seems doesn't have a moral of compliance with the International treaty, Bilateral agreement, and law. So, no point to have a meeting or discussion with this country for diplomatic relationship.

1912 by Roy C. Andrews

I realize that video "Rise & fall of the Japanese Empire" had ill-used "Video taken by the Govt-General of Korea for an elementary school geography class in 1930". The discovery Channel had produced it look like Japan exploited labor &　resources in Korea.

Color video of Seoul, Gyeongseong, Korea under Japanese rule in 1938.
Many kids wearing color clothing seems the result of encouragement to wear color cloth by the Governor-General had the implemented throughout Korea since 1932.

Korean news "1930s photo of Japanese eradication policy of white cloth ethnics”.
Ad. of Korean dye shop calling for wearing color clothes with the policy of the Governor's Office & Koreans wearing white clothes that were overwhelming at that time.

Korean loves primary color now

I don't want to be involved with the twisted Anti-Japanese sentiment & victimhood of Koreans, but compare with the Japanese rule & the brutal battlefield of the Korean War which estimated killed 4m people, which one was miserable?

It is clear that Korean are habitual liar.

Additional video about Japan didn't suppress Korean language during the Japanese rule of 35 years from 1910 - 1945. Speaking hangul in the class of school.

Please stop the false information of "Japan invaded Korea, suppressed, exploited & murdered Koreans

>1912 by Roy C. Andrews
Sorry, It was misleading to left his name. I meant his ”film”. 1912 Roy Chapman Andrews photographed (the adventurer who became an Indiana Jones model(?))
He went China,Gobi Desert & Mongolia,Not mention Korea at Wiki. probably he just past through.

In the middle of film,"Korean coolies pull jinrickshas & heavily loaded wagons".

jinrickshas（人力車）is wrong, It was carts（リヤカー・荷車）
The wrong traslation occurred, probably caused by Korean didn't have the technology to make wheels until the Japanese rule.

There are lot of movies ＆ entertainment produced　by Korean themselves under Japanese rule.
8 out of Mayers were Korean, Elected prefectoral governors were Korean, 242,341 Korean soldiers were in the Japanese army & 20.000 Korean police maintained Safety

If 20,000 Korean women were abducted by Japanese army, it should effected on their population growth. Korea under Japanese rule was peace until USSR invasion at end of WW2. General Douglas MacArthur rejected Korean request to be included as an ally, cos, Korean fought against UN

A tour of Siam (Thailand) & Korea (under Japanese rule) in the 1930s.

The propaganda pictures @ Seodaemun Prison History Hall in Korea. Japanese soldiers weren't in Korean peninsula, but kidnapping young Korean women on the street in broad daylight, then tortured. No witnessed. Their parents, brother, sister, boyfriends didn't protest & help them

Japan's annexation was praised by many Westerners back then.Swedish scholar's book tells Koreans came to appreciate Japan's rule.
"When the Cherry-trees blossom in Keijo, all the town is afoot. It is like a holiday in Keijo. Everyone makes his way to the parks to enjoy the scene"
