According to Chen Chi-lu, only the Ami and Yami continued to manufacture pottery into the 1950s and 1960s. While pottery-making was women's work among the Ami, it was men's work on Orchid Island. The pottery pictured here are for storing water. Kano Tadao writes: ""Water for drinking or culinary use is always drawn from an open or artesian well inside the village. Besides the puraranaum, a water pot used for carrying and storage, a bamboo cylinder or a coconut-shell may be used for the same purpose. ..Sea-water is often used for boiling fish"" (Kano 1956, p. 234). Chen Chi-lu adds: ""For a cooking pot or water vessel, the Yami potter first puts a leaf...on the ground, and puts the clay on the leaf. A pancake of clay forms the base. Clay strips are then built up on it to form the wall of the vessel. It i

This same woman is pictured in a slightly different posture in (H. Suzuki 1935, p.108). Suzuki's caption [translated]: ""a strange hat carved from wood.""
4. [wa0082] [Rukai carved wooden statues at Da'nan] [wa0082] [Rukai carved wooden statues at Da'nan]533 Music; 530 Arts; 322 Woodworking; 320 Processing of Basic Materials; 5311 Visual Arts; 534 Musical InstrumentsTwo large wood statues of male figurines with snake-motif head-dresses. A row of clapper-less bells are also visible, attached to the wall. Chen (1961, plate 66) has a very similar photo, which he dates at approximately 1929 and places in Da'nan 大南社 village. Chen identifies the bells as Rukai 魯凱族 ""jingling 警鈴"" (lit. warning bells). These bells are also known as ""taurin."" Ide (1937) describes this setting as a youth association hall, also placing it in Da'nan village, Taidong prefecture (p.192). Warner has misidentified this Rukai village as ""Paiwan"" on the back of his card.

Kano Tadao writes: ""Yami boats, large and small, are gracefully and variously decorated. In some of them, the strakes are decorated with carved designs while others are painted in three colors: white, made from lime, red from lateritic-soil and black from soot scraped from boiling-pots. The carved and painted ornaments on the strakes of the boats differ from village to village. Consequently, the various markings provide an easy way of distinguishing village origin and ownership. (Kano 1956, p. 286)."" The most visible boat in this photography closely approximates the design on a boat Kano identifies as an Ivarinu-village craft(p. 287).
9. [wa0138] [Chikan (Fort Proventia) monuments] [wa0138] [Chikan (Fort Proventia) monuments]320 Processing of Basic Materials; 324 Lithic Industries; 210 Records; 211 Mnemonic DevicesA series of vertical rectangular stone monuments 碑(J. ishibumi/Ch. bei) with tortoise figurines at the base. These nine monuments are now in front of the moat inside of the Chikan Towers, in an area called the Yuguibei 御亀碑, or Venerable Tortoise Monuments. The stone monuments commemorate a Qing victory over rebelling Taiwanese subjects in 1786. The monuments were moved to the courtyard in front of the South Gate in 1935 by the colonial government, as pictured here, and moved to their current location in 1960. This photo must therefore have been taken between 1935 and 1941. (Nihon chiri taikei 1930, p. 121) (Tainan lishi 2003, p. 76).

Professor Chen Chi-lu writes [based on March 1959 fieldwork]: ""Among the Ami, pottery making is confined to women....The Ami make pottery by modeling. A lump of clay is shaped by hand in the form of the future pot. Then paddle and anvil are employed to continue the work of shaping it. The anvil, called arimoleh, is usually a round pebble (about 7 cm. in diameter) from a river bed; and the paddle (about 25-30cm wide, and 1-3cm thick) called asteteh, is made of wood. The pottery is modeled on a base, called langah....Then the pot is smoothed by hand with water. When finished, the pot is placed in the shade for four to five days, and then fired in an open space near the riverbank"" (Chen 1968, p. 110-111). The translated caption: ""Women making pots (Ami tribe).""

""Women usually take on the job of pot-throwing, producing household items such as water pots, food containers, and jars"" (Mori's caption translated by Tung 1996, p. 172). Mori's caption [translated]: ""This is where girls can make pottery in the village of Pokupoku 薄々. The gourd-shaped pot on the left is for steaming grain and is called a torunan. The two-eared pots are for carrying water and are called atomo. The jar with the large opening is called a kaboi and is used for cooking. The small flower-vase and items like it are called Ruwasu, and are used for festival/rituals 祭器に用いる土器なり. The tools to make pots consist of only a round stone and a spatula or shuttlecock-shaped bamboo stamping device 竹箆及羽子板
