Japanese learned from Risley -- or the other way around?

This brief 1904 film does indeed show two exceptionally dexterous performers from Japan. However, I do question the commenter above in his assertion that Professor Risley was the originator of these moves and showed them to Japan. It is far more likely that the events occurred the other way around, that Risley learned these moves *from* the Japanese, and brought these performers to the West, including the UK and America. And this is how his name came to be associated with these moves, because he was the producer and presenter, not the creator. This is the order of events explained on the web site of the National Museum of Japanese History, at http://www.rekihaku.ac.jp/e-rekihaku/118
