If Segawa himself took the photo, which is almost certain, then it was shot between 1929 and 1935, when it appeared in H. Suzuki's _Taiwan bankai no tenbo_. Segawa referred to the seated man with the head-dress as the ""chief"" of Tapangu village (Suzuki: Tappan) in Tsuo territory. The beverage is called 'moromi' (H. Suzuki). Yuasa and Segawa's description of Tsuo fermented beverages and their consumption is meticulous. They write: ""The Tsou people enjoy wine and [tobacco]. Both men and women, as long as they are above the age of fourteen or fifteen, drink wine, and at celebrations enjoy drinking until they are quite intoxicated. They brew their own wine, including millet wine (emi no ton'u), rice wine (emi no pai), and sorghum wine (emi no batayu, kaoliang wine in Chinese). A method

These flags may be remnants of the Japanese 1874 expedition to Taiwan. At the time, Japanese troops distributed flags to allies to separate them from villages marked for punitive attacks. According to H. Suzuki, the flags signify surrender during the Qing dynasty, but it is not clear to whom the Neiwen residents surrendered; both standing men are considered ""men of great influence in southern Taiwan"" (H. Suzuki, p. 83).
