4. [wa0093] [Sailboat] [wa0093] [Sailboat]220 Food Quest; 501 Boats; 226 Fishing; 500 Water and Air TransportTranslated caption of same photo in the 1930 atlas of Japan: ""Bamboo rafts like the one pictured here sometimes hoist anpera アンペラ [a tall durable fibrous grass used for weaving] sails, sometimes sails of joined tattered rags. Just a little wind in the sails, and these rafts glide along the water."" ""They can reach 6 meters in length and are built of stout bamboo poles that are slightly curved at each end. The poles are lashed together with wisteria up to a width of 2 yards 間. The waves freely wash up on the raft, so a large bucket is kept in the middle to [bail out the boat]. The shallow draft makes these rafts especially suited for rural areas"" (Nihon chiri taikei 1930, p. 143).

[wa0136] [Orchid Island canoes] [wa0136] [Orchid Island canoes]530 Arts; 500 Water and Air Transport; 501 Boats; 320 Processing of Basic Materials; 322 Woodworking; 5311 Visual ArtsYami boats with decorative designs are called ""ipanitika."" 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).
6. [wa0191] 7 ships of Yami tribe, Formosa　 [wa0191] 7 ships of Yami tribe, Formosa　130 Geography; 501 Boats; 500 Water and Air TransportThis photo was taken by Sasaki Shunichi 佐々木舜一 in August, 1911. Mori Ushinosuke supplied this caption: ""A boat of the Yami of Orchid Island. This place is for launching boats to sea. These boats are built by hollowing out a single log. They join several boards together to build the keel 竜骨. The carvings differ from village to village. By viewing the carving design, it is quickly evident which village the boat belongs to. They weave a type of fibrous plant to make the sails"" [translated from Japanese](Mori 1918:2, p. 9). Kano Tadao's illustrated ethnography contains a picture of an abaca-fiber sail like the ones pictured in this postcard; it is called a ""virad-no-tatara."" Kano notes that these sails are used on boats large and small (Kano 1956, p. 294). This same colorized image, and its Japanese caption, was still being reproduced and
7. [wa0213] 20 Teppai (A boat of a bamboo wraft[sic]), Formosa.　 [wa0213] 20 Teppai (A boat of a bamboo wraft[sic]), Formosa.　500 Water and Land Transport; 501 BoatsYao Tsun Hsiung: ""Since Taiwan is an island, besides traditional farming, many of the residents of Taiwan made their living by fishing. The scene of a sampan or fishing boat raising its sail and heading out to sea was thus often used to convey the lifestyle of many residents of Taiwan, and commonly appeared as a visual symbol in contemporary propaganda materials. For instance, the publicity postcards for such varied activities as 'Taiwan Mutual-Progress Fair,' and 'Commemoration of the Itinerary of Prince Hirohito in Taiwan,' all used pictures of sampans or fishing boats to emphasize the features of Taiwan's island environment"" (Yao 2006, p. 67).
