[wa0003] [Four Orchid Island women] 340 Structures; 300 Adornment; 290 Clothing; 301 Ornament; 342 Dwellings; 302 Toilet Four women, two standing and two seated under a thatched roof on pavement of round stones. 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."" 2. [wa0006] [Female coiffure, Fujianese (Hoklo)] 300 Adornment; 302 Toilet Two women wearing black silk upper garments. A similar photograph in the 1930 Atlas of Imperial Japan describes the hairnet as a characteristic of Fujianese women, distinguishing them from women from Guangdong, who were largely Hakka (Kejia). (Nihon chiri taikei 1930, p. 320). 3. [wa0031] [Burning incense at Baoan Gong] 340 Structures; 300 Adornment; 302 Toilet; 346 Religious and Educational Structures; 780 Religious Practices; 788 Ritual A woman stands just outside of Baoan Gong 保安宮 temple in Taipei, behind a large tripod-shaped incense burner. The burner was made in 1918. The Baoan Gong was built in 1765, and is reportedly one of Taiwan's oldest temples (Storey 2001, p. 124). The woman in the photo is wearing a ""moga"" (modern girl) hairstyle, a symbol of youthful rebellion, cosmopolitanism, and fashion-sense in urban 1920s East Asia. 4.

The background photo has been cropped and re-touched to hide power lines and posts. ""In 1784, Liu Yongfu appealed to the Qing court, asking that Lugang be developed into a new port. It was then transformed into an exchange harbor between China and Taiwan....Lugang in the old days rested at the midway point between the north and the south....Ever since the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, trade was discontinued between the mainland and the island. Lugang was abandoned as a result."" In Qing times, ""streets in Lugang were covered by roofs for fear of bandits. After sundown, all doors and gates were shut tight, forming a fortress"" (Matsumoto 1990, pp.154-55). 7.
