Enoshima is a land-tied island that protrudes from the Shonan coast in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, to Sagami Bay, and is a place name and town name that has the characteristics of being a commonly used island with a circumference of 360 degrees that is not surrounded by the sea. Also, the name of the town that refers to the entire island. It belongs to the Katase district (former Katase town area). There are Enoshima 1-chome and Enoshima 2-chome, and residential addresses are displayed throughout the area. The postal code is 251-0036 (Fujisawa Post Office District). It is a scenic spot that represents Shonan and has been a tourist attraction for a long time. It is a historic site designated by Kanagawa Prefecture, a scenic spot, and one of the 100 landscapes of Japan. It is often written as Enoshima in the station name of transportation, but it is written as “Enoshima” in town names and official documents. In the olden days, it was sometimes written as “Eshima” as represented by Enoshima Shrine (one of the Three Great Shrines of Japan). In this section, we will describe the land-tied island and the place name Enoshima, but in general, it is often recognized as a tourist destination in the area including Katase on the opposite bank and the southern part of Kugenuma district.
In Japan, when we say simply “pre-war”, we usually refer to the period before the outbreak of World War II, starting with the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese economy grew by leaps and bounds over a period of about 19 years, from 1954 to 1973, when the domestic postal code system and Euroclear were established in 1968, followed by rapid progress in bringing the bill clearing system online. In 1956, the White Paper on the Economy was published. During the period of rapid economic growth in the 1960s and 1970s, the economy benefited from special demand from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 1970 Osaka World’s Fair. In 1968, the country’s gross national product (GNP) surpassed that of West Germany to become the second largest in the world. Bullet trains and expressways were built. Just before the 1970s, when Japan became a creditor nation, foreigners began to invest more in Japanese stocks. The Nixon Shock of 1971 led to a substantial revaluation of the yen, which corrected the excessive surplus in the balance of payments and contributed to economic stability. In October 1973, the Fourth Middle East War triggered a rise in the price of crude oil, and Japan fell into an oil shock (the First Oil Shock). Thereafter, the economy moved into a period of stable growth (from December 1973 to February 1991, when the bubble economy burst).
About “World Vintage Films”
Youtube shows videos taken from the 1910s to the 1980s.
The footage is original and was taken by my family and my friends during the trip.
That’s why many of the videos are taken by Japanese people.
Editing work is first converted from analog to digital. Then remove the unwanted parts and add the original music and subtitles. I don’t want to hide the video, so there are few subtitles.
Monochrome images may be colorized.
Overseas travel, domestic travel, pre-war, war-time, post-war travel around the world.
I have more than 10,000 films that I haven’t released yet. We will continue to edit and distribute it little by little.
There are many valuable images. Especially rare are old footage of less developed countries. At that time, photography equipment was rare. Prewar Japanese footage is also valuable. Old cars and railroads. There is also a video taken from the sky on an airplane. Towns and markets. And the appearance of people. Famous tourist spots and natural scenery. Fashion sense is also interesting unlike the present. Enjoy the old-style landscape.
Most of them are 8mm film, 16mm film, 9.5mm film, 35mm film and so on. It does not cover new types of video, such as VHS.
