溫馨的泰雅族一家

[英文]This photo appeared in the March 1, 1932, issue of @Riban no tomo@ or @Friends of Aborigine Administration.@ The caption reads translation: @The Piyahau village of the Suao group are the innermost of the Nan$ao settlements. Their clothing and ornaments have retained their distinctive Atayal character@ (Riban no tomo I (Jan, 1932):4). Translation of Japanese caption: @A Happy Household. It seems that for the most part, we see no signs of labor strife in an Aborigine home. The men plant, harvest, and hunt, while the women perform household chores; all in all they enjoy a peaceful existence.@ This same image, colorized, with the Japanese intact, was still being reproduced and sold in Taiwan as late as December, 2007, under the imprint: @原味台湾 Aboriginal Peoples of Taiwan@. The back matter on these reproductions is trilingual: @泰雅族家庭/タイヤル族一家/Tayal family.@ 植物纖維經過處理後，要將一根根的纖維，接在一起，再捻成線，此時再使用圖片中的紡錘，藉由紡錘的旋轉力，將一段段的線捻緊。 English Translation: Fibers from plants need to be knotted first and then twined into strings. Then the spindle on this postcard is necessary for twining strings tightly (NCL).
