1951 Genji film image source

[edit]

(User:Hijiri88 on a phone here. Will post logged in when I get home.)

File:The Tale of Genji - 1951 film.jpg

I know it's been more than a decade, but is there any chance you could provide an approximate time in the film that this screenshot is taken from? I tried to locate it on one of the YouTube uploads just now, but couldn't seem to find it.

If it was photographed separately as a promotional image, then it probably has a separate copyright, which may or may not still apply...

2001:268:92A3:88B5:605D:BC24:1114:7245 11:06, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Even if it was a promotional photo, it would be public domain according to article 23 of the 1899 Copyright Act of Japan and Article 2 of Supplemental Provisions of Copyright Act of 1970. This is because this photo was published before January 1st 1957. FYI, the photo does not claim to be a screenshot taken from the film, even if it was or wasn't. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 12:43, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, minor personal crisis scuppered my plans to post logged in on Wednesday night.
Interesting… Is there a reason you cite both those laws? The former says "10 years", which would make the date of 1957 irrelevant. The latter doesn't seem to be correctly linked in our template as it appears on the image's page, but, at least based on my reading of this, doesn't seem to have an "Article 2" unless that's a translation of 第二節, which is a revision of the Copyright Act's provisions in articles 6 through 9 and doesn't seem to relate to photographs or length of copyright protection. (I guess it might also be a translation of 第二章, which does cover the section dealing with the length of copyright protection along with many, many other points.) It seems that as of 1970 the length of copyright protection for photographs was defined by Article 55 as 50 years from the date of publication.
The current text of the Copyright Act (articles 51 to 58) doesn't seem to distinguish between still photographs and other non-film works in defining the length of copyright protection as the author's life plus 70 years, or 70 years from the date of publication if the author is unknown. I haven't checked if the current law defines "photographs" or certain classes of photographs (such as those presented by the creators as still images from films) as "films", though. I also can't conveniently access the full text of the law as it was revised in June 2012, so I can't say what the law said when the file was originally uploaded, but the "famous" extension of copyright only dates to 2018, and two years before that it basically said 50 years where the current text says 70 in the case of non-films, but still said publication date plus 70 years for films.
This implies to me (admittedly a very lay man) that the film, and presumably still images therefrom, entered the public domain in Japan in 2021, while, if the photo was a separate promotional image created to be clipped for magazine advertisements (somewhat implied in Chapter 11 of the book Envisioning The Tale of Genji: Media, Gender, and Cultural Production), its copyright date was and is dependent upon the date the photographer died or, if the photographer is unknown, then it entered the public domain in Japan in 2001.
Does "1957" refer to the date 50 years before some significant date for Wikipedia Commons? If you don't know, I guess I'll take your word for it that the date of 1957 is relevant.
Anyway, sorry if it looked like I was implying that your Commons upload indicated that the photo was a still from the film. I was referring to the English Wikipedia page on the film, which is probably the most prominent place where it is used. Many external websites take that information from English Wikipedia, and that's what brought me here: I was curious if you knew whether it was a still (well, a "scene") from the film. Since it seemed like you didn't know, I was going to go ask whoever added that claim to English Wikipedia, but when I checked just now, I found that this was you. I guess I could take this to your en.wiki talk page or ping you on the article's talk page, but since I have you here, would you mind clarifying whether this was a guess on your part or something you verified by watching the film itself?
Hijiri88 (talk) 23:23, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Not sure what your point is. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 18:52, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
You said that the image was a scene from the film. I asked you why you thought that, and you responded by talking about Japanese copyright law. I think you are probably wrong on the copyright law, but that is not my main point. My main point, as the last few sentences of my reply above should have made clear, continues to be whether this image is a still from the film or a separate promotional image that doesn't appear in the film itself. Do you know the answer to my question, or do you not? Hijiri88 (talk) 00:12, 6 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
Thats not my stance on copyright law, that is the Commons stance. Literally copy and pasted from policy. Is your opinion that all of Wikimedia Commons is wrong about the law? I think you are just trying to pick fights with me, and I don't know what your point of that is. Calm down and enjoy life a little more. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 05:43, 6 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
I amn't trying to pick a fight with you, but I do apologize if I gave that impression. I will say it again, but I'm not here to talk about copyright; do you know whether the image in question is a still from the film or a separate photograph produced to publicize the film? Hijiri88 (talk) 06:11, 8 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
You literally wrote two paragraphs about copyright, not sure why I would think you aren't here to talk about copyright? What are you here about? Why does it matter what it is? I'm just confused why you are picking out an image I shared from a decade ago and trying to get me to talk about it like I shared it yesterday. If you need to find something from the film, it is freely available and I can provide you with some links for you to check it out if you didn't know that? Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 10:03, 8 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
There's no need to get angry. I understand now that you don't know where you got the information that this was a still from the film. I guess I will have to assume you got the information from somewhere until my friend returns my DVD of the film and I can check for myself, after which point I will remove the claim from English Wikipedia if I find it to have been in error. It would have been nice had you been able to clear this up for me immediately so I could have pointed out to the institution that repeated this claim in a social media post before it becomes "too old", but I guess I can consider whether it's still worth doing so once I finally am able to check for myself. Cheers. Hijiri88 (talk) 04:06, 9 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sources for higher res images

[edit]

Hi, I just saw you uploaded some nice, higher res versions of various images, but could you update the source fields to the new sources also? Otherwise it's impossible to find them, and we only link to the small versions. FunkMonk (talk) 15:54, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

My latest tiger drawing thing was from Wikimedia itself. But yeah I should update when it’s not from the same as original source huh? Ok. Often the source has a higher resolution image that wasn’t originally available or the Uploader wasn’t aware of that. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 18:51, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, the source fields should be changed to whatever other place the new version is taken from, even if it's from another Commons file. FunkMonk (talk) 16:53, 4 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

2016Yamanba photograph

[edit]

Hello,

My name is Carina Roth (University of Geneva and Zurich, Switzerland) and I am working on an article on Yamanba in Japanese religious history. May I use your 2016 Tokyo area Yamanba photograph for a publication, and if yes, would you advise me how to credit your work properly? With many thanks, Carina ~2025-39904-16 (talk) 08:48, 11 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

It's technically a "Creative Commons share alike" image which would mean you would need to license your article with the same Creative Commons license when using it technically. Anyway, credit could be something like "Nesnad from Wikimedia" (from can be in whatever language the article is in) or something I guess. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 09:16, 11 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 has started, Join us!

[edit]

Hello Nesnad,

The world’s traditions are disappearing faster than we can document them, but you can help change that.

On behalf of the Wiki Loves Folklore International Team, we are reaching out to invite you to contribute to the 2026 edition of our global campaign.

Share Your Cultural Heritage with the World

Wiki Loves Folklore is an international media contest dedicated to documenting the "intangible" beauty of our cultures. Whether it’s the vibrant colours of a folk festival, the rhythm of a traditional dance, the secrets of a family recipe, or the legends of your hometown, your media helps preserve these legacies for generations to come.

How You Can Contribute Participating is simple, and every upload contributes to the world's largest free knowledge repository:

  • Capture: Take photos, record videos, or capture audio of folk activities, music, mythology, or traditional wear.
  • Upload: Share your files on Wikimedia Commons between 1 February 2026 and 31 March 2026.
  • Win: Beyond the satisfaction of preservation, there are international prizes for the most impactful contributions.

Ready to get started? Click here to upload your media now or visit the Main Project Page for full rules and category details.

Your perspective is a vital piece of the global cultural puzzle. We can't wait to see the folklore you bring to life.

Warm regards,

#WeTogether

Wiki Loves Folklore International Team

Boilerplate DR votes

[edit]

I am not arguing with you about the merits of AI as a medium on every DR I have made for an AI generated image. There are a lot of legitimate reasons to dislike AI and AI generated content. If you are going to vote, base your argument on whether the individual file has significant educational merit compared to other files on commons. Dronebogus (talk) 07:13, 18 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Bad faith Dronebogus. You wrote nothing but "slop" with no argument in most of your nominations. I am open to deleting things with no merit, but just mass deleting things because they are AI seems weird. Nesnad (talk) 07:47, 18 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
