University, Hase Ken'ichiro, has discovered notes for four letters that 
Inabata Katsutaro, known in Japanese film history as the man who 
imported the Lumiere Cinematograph to Japan, sent to the Lumiere 
Brothers. The notes are likely transcripts of letters in French Inabata 
sent from March to October of 1897, and describe the importation of the apparatus.
 What is wonderful is that Inabata Co. (which still exists), has put the
 letters on their home page, complete with a Japanese translation by
