Hi David,
Regular (or Standard 8mm) was first marketed in 1932, so I agree with Jasper that 9.5mm, the popular home movie gauge at the time in Japan, is the likely bet. But it’s funny how I’ve watched that scene so many times without wondering myself! Now I’ll think twice when I see it again.
Best,
Joanne

Can anyone tell me the film gauge of the home-movie in I Was Born But...?  It seems like it's too small for 16mm.  Is it 9.5?

Thanks.

I think the 9.5mm Pathe Baby was the home cinema camera of choice in 1930s Japan.
