Kasahara 笠原(1999) contains three photos of the same man as photographed by Asai Erin 浅井惠倫, tentatively placing the photo in January, 1940 (pp. 119-121), and identifies him as a headman in Kunanau. This same Kunanau headman also appears to be pictured in [wa0228] and [wa0152]. If Kasahara's dates are correct, the same Kunanau headman depicted here was an active participant in Japanese photography from as early as 1935 to as late as January, 1940.
