1. [wa0009] [Japanese Police and Orchid Islanders] [wa0009] [Japanese Police and Orchid Islanders]620 Community; 410 Tools and Appliances; 411 Weapons; 625 Police; 626 Social Control; 629 Inter-ethnic Relations; 870 EducationSeventeen Japanese policemen are seated in front of several rows of Orchid Islanders, men, woman and children. The Policeman are holding swords and the adult male islanders hold upright spears. The year 1934 is written on the back of the photo. The banner at the top of the hill reads: 紅頭嶼教育所落成式(Celebration to Commemorate the Completion of the Orchid Island Training Institute). Another view of this scene is shown in image [wa00135].
2. [wa0018] [Orchid Island architecture] [wa0018] [Orchid Island architecture]410 Tools and Appliances; 340 Structures; 290 Clothing; 292 Special Garments; 344 Public Structures; 411 Weapons; 410 Tools and AppliancesSeveral Orchid Islanders, men and boys, posing for camera in loin-cloths, upper garments, and helmets. Some men are holding spears, standing on a rounded-stone wall. Kano Tadao labels the roofed structure on the left as a ""Tagakal,"" or pile-raised resting platform. He writes: ""Almost every Yami family owns a resting platform which is erected in front of the main dwelling. It is built on four piles with the plank flooring raised about 3 meters above the ground. The roof is thatched and access is by a ladder. Resting on the platform even in the heat of midday is refreshing and the refreshing cool sea breezes make it possible to forget the unbearable heat of the tropics. From this vantage point once can also see the incoming boats with their catches of fish"" (Kano 1956, p. 70). Chen Chi-lu, following Kano, writes that one ""characteristic feature of [Yami] construction is that the hous

[wa0020] [Orchid Islanders with spears upright] [wa0020] [Orchid Islanders with spears upright]510 Living Standards and Routines; 410 Tools and Appliances; 411 Weapons; 516 PosturesSeveral dozen Orchid Island males crouch with spears in upright position. H. Suzuki's caption has been copied onto the back of this card, suggesting that one of the Warners read H. Suzuki's 1935 photo album, or that Warner and Suzuki received this image from a common source. In addition to ""Forest of upright spears,"" H. Suzuki added [trans.]: ""Welcoming, en masse, the rare guest to the island"" (H. Suzuki 1935, p. 109).

Most of the men are wearing characteristic deer-hide cap of the Tsuo. This photo can be found in Yuasa Hiroshi's publication of Segawa Kokichi's field notes and photographs. If Segawa himself took the photo, which is almost certain, then it was shot between 1929 and 1939. Yuasa and Segawa captioned this photo as ""Wine Banquet. Tfuya village."" For a detailed discussion of Tsuo wine manufacture and consumption, see [wa0056].

6. [wa0033] [Five men with guns] [wa0033] [Five men with guns]510 Living Standards and Routines; 410 Tools and Appliances; 290 Clothing; 516 Postures; 411 WeaponsFive men with muskets, standing behind three squatting boys, on a plain in front of a mountain. Portraits of Aborigines, and Aboriginal themed cards present a dominant strain in the Warner collection. Of the 335 different images in the collection, 161 depict Aborigines and their material culture or geographic surroundings. On an island whose Han population has been above 95% for the duration of the 20th century, this is indeed a high percentage. This preference for Aboriginal themes, whether consumer driven or government directed, is perhaps attributable to the still predominant belief that Aborigine cultures are comparatively static and unchanging, at least compared to those of urbanized, industrialized citizenries. In his examination of the Korean case, Hyung Gu Lynn argues that ""picture postcards also helped reiforce a discourse of backwardness and progress, often juxtaposing 'quaint

If Segawa himself took the photo, which is almost certain, then it was shot between 1929 and 1935, when it appeared in H. Suzuki's _Taiwan bankai no tenbo_. Segawa referred to the seated man with the head-dress as the ""chief"" of Tapangu village (Suzuki: Tappan) in Tsuo territory. The beverage is called 'moromi' (H. Suzuki). Yuasa and Segawa's description of Tsuo fermented beverages and their consumption is meticulous. They write: ""The Tsou people enjoy wine and [tobacco]. Both men and women, as long as they are above the age of fourteen or fifteen, drink wine, and at celebrations enjoy drinking until they are quite intoxicated. They brew their own wine, including millet wine (emi no ton'u), rice wine (emi no pai), and sorghum wine (emi no batayu, kaoliang wine in Chinese). A method
