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.

Yamazaki's 1934 description [translated] of the exact same plaza (different photo): ""AAborigine housing in Pingdong Park is redolent of South Seas atmosphere; it displays the regional style very well. Since these houses were modeled on actual dwellings of southern Aborigines, they use them as inns when they come down from the mountains to visit the towns. They also serve the function of introducing tourists to the customs of the southern Aborigines. It has become a perfect sightseeing locale."" (Yamazaki 1934, p. 47). 8.

It would appear that Rella Warner, Consul Gerald's wife, and a man named Owen used the back of this print to keep scored for some sort of game, as indicated by the hand-written remarks on the verso. The printed information on the back suggests that this photo was supplied by the Asahi Shinbun company, which published a major daily newspaper as well as magazines in Japan. 10.

In the old days violence erupted here on occasion, but now Wulai is pacified; it even has a hot springs-bathhouse surrounded by beautiful scenery (see [0185])."" A 1932 Japan Railways tourism guide has left out this allusion to frontier violence, recalling Wulai's past challenges as ones of topography, not politics: ""Wulai is a good place to learn about the Aborigine territory. Travel to Wulai has been hitherto inconvenient, but now one can travel by push-car trolley [0299] directly from Xindian 新店, a distance of four ri (1 ri=2.44 miles), making the trip very easy....The Aborigine villages of Rahao, Rimogan, and Ayu 阿玉 are nearby, and one can find Aborigine Trading Posts and Schools for Aborigine Children [0232] [0295] here, meaning one can satisfactorily inspect conditions among the 15.

The human faces and serpents on the lentil-piece denote Paiwan nobility/political leadership (Tung 1996, p. 243). 20. [wa0302] Savages' Houses of Heito Taiwan 530 Arts; 340 Structures; 341 Architecture; 342 Dwellings; 5311 Visual Arts This plaza with housing was featured as an example of authentic southern Aborigine architecture in tourist literature and postcards. The Taiwan Railways Guidebook says that this structure was moved and then rebuilt in its original form in the regional center, Pingdong town. The caption on image [0305] says that it was modeled on a mountain home, not actually relocated. Located in a park in Pingdong town, it served as a one-night stopover for Aborigines coming down from the mountains for commerce and as a tourist attraction (Taiwan Sotokufu 1932, p. 223). This particular photograph has also been reproduced in a recent state-edited Taiwanese middle school textbook (Cai 2000, p.16). Paiwan houses were generally rectangular, with ... slate floors. Slate [was also] used for walls and roofing, with stone pillars for structural support. [The region's] metaphoric slate can be split with a chis
