Namakura Gatana (The Dull Sword)
1917 · Jun'ichi Kōuchi · 4 min
A hapless samurai buys a cheap, blunt sword and tries it out on passers-by — with humiliating results. At roughly four minutes, it is one of the oldest surviving works of Japanese animation.
Why this is free to watchFirst released in 1917. Its copyright has long since expired — the film is in the public domain in both Japan and the United States (published before 1928).
