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).
