The skirts in this photo are similar to the classic form described by Chen Ch-lu as being ""made by sewing together three pieces of ramie cloth each 16-17 cm. wide. At both ends there are usually three blue stripes running lengthwise. The cloth is wound around the waist and held by a tightly-tied string. This skirt is worn from the age of five or six onwards....The older generation [Chen wrote in the 1960s] usually wears only a skirt; but the younger generation, probably because of foreign influence, may put on a breast covering"" (Chen 1968, p. 172). See images [wa0318] and [wa0323] for approximate color of these garments. The caption in Riban no tomo [trans.]: ""The young Yami women of Orchid Island; wives [by contrast] are never far from their husband's side.""

9. [wa0074] [Indigenous clothing, back view] [wa0074] [Indigenous clothing, back view]290 Clothing; 301 Ornament; 144 Racial IdentificationCouple with back to camera to display clothing. The subject heading 'Racial Identification' has been attached to this image because the pose and angle suggests that this photo illustrates a specific anthropological 'type'. Such a pose is employed, for example, in the Taisho period (1912-1926) government anthropological surveys of Taiwan (though infrequently and without consistency). For examples, see Rinji Taiwan kyukan chosa dai ichi-bu, ed., _Banzoku kanshu chosa hokoku-sho, vol. 3, plate 8; vol. 1, plate 12, vol. 5 pt. 3, plate 24.
