 So cool! Thank you so much, Aaron.
For those who read French but not Japanese, here's the direct link to the PDF: https://www.inabata.co.jp/themes/inabata/ik/assets/pdf/inabata_lumiere.pdf
Can anyone make out the ******* word on the first page?Suivant la loi japonaise, on interdisait les *******, les instruments de musique, enfin tout ce qui concerne les distractions.(日本の法律に従って、＊＊ ＊ や楽器の演奏、要するに娯楽に関わるすべての事柄が禁じられました。)

The Kyoto Shinbun has reported that a graduate student at Kyoto 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 Hori Junji.
