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).

The thatch- roofed structure houses the stove itself.

From the time of annexation and even a couple of decades before, camphor was a valuable export product for both the Qing and Japanese states. Since the best trees were located at altitudes also populated by Indigenous Peoples, violent confrontations over access to this resource was a major theme in Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan.

Yao Tsun Hsiung: ""Taiwan's folk customs and lifestyles were quite different from those of the island's Japanese rulers. In order to gain a better understanding of Taiwan during the early days of colonial rule, so that they could better establish firm control over the island, the Japanese conducted the systematic ""Survey of Old Taiwanese Customs,"" which addressed the food, dress, houses, activities, folk customs, and religious beliefs of the island's inhabitants.
