EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of indigenous men from the island of Formosa, now known as Taiwan, during the early 1920s when the province was under Japanese rule. The men, dressed in traditional tribal attire, exude a sense of strength and resilience as they stand proudly with their weapons at the ready. The men are adorned with various tools and weapons, including spears, guns, and knives, which were essential for their daily lives and survival. The spears and knives were used for hunting, while the guns were a more modern addition to their arsenal, reflecting the influence of the Japanese occupation. Despite the encroachment of modernization and external forces, these men remained steadfast in their cultural traditions and practices. Their distinctive costumes, which include intricately designed headpieces and body paint, are a testament to the rich ethnic diversity of the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, providing a window into the lives of indigenous peoples in Asia during the 1920s. The men's stoic poses and unwavering gaze convey a sense of pride and determination, reminding us of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and traditions, even in the face of change and adversity.
