The Japanese American National Museum has a little writing on it. Doesn't seem like there's much information on what exactly happened outside of the WSJ article that's paywalled, which is frustrating. The film was screened about two hours ago in Los Angeles.
Edit: Okay, I managed to find this article about it too, from September. I'm not sure when exactly she discovered it, but it seems like restoration was completed this year. Hopefully it'll find its way online soon, I'd be interested in seeing it. It looks like the only other known copy of it was a safety film mentioned in the article, but I could be wrong.
A Japanese-American film from 1914? That's unheard of. The context to this one makes it one of the most historically significant films to be found in recent years.
It's a bit disingenuous to say that a film vaulted in 1980 by the George Eastman House was "lost".
Undiscovered, maybe, but their entire registry catalog is available publicly online with a simple search. It's pretty easy to find that kind of thing, if you're looking for it.

zxt-True I mean I didn't really read much of article but there is got to be at least half of the supposed lost media on this wiki that isn't lost and I have made that point before, its simply unreleased like the original cut of star wars, etc, we know where its at we just can't get access to it.
