EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Tsou tribe, an indigenous people of central southern Formosa (now Taiwan), living in a mountainous region to the southwest of Mount Morrison, or Mount Yushan, in 1922. At the time, Taiwan was under Japanese rule during the 1920s. In this image, three Tsou adults and a baby are depicted in their traditional attire, showcasing the unique racial types and cultural heritage of this tribe. The Tsou people are known for their distinct clothing, which includes long, flowing skirts for women and short loincloths for men. The women's skirts are adorned with intricate patterns and colors, while the men wear simple, yet functional garments. The baby, bundled up in a traditional carrier, gazes curiously at the camera, representing the next generation of this proud and resilient community. The Tsou tribe has a rich history and strong connection to their land, which is reflected in their customs and traditions. They are believed to have inhabited the area for over 5,000 years and have maintained their distinct identity despite the influences of external cultures. This photograph offers a glimpse into their way of life during a time when the world was undergoing significant changes. Today, the Tsou people continue to preserve their traditions and pass them down to future generations, ensuring that their unique cultural heritage remains an integral part of Taiwan's diverse tapestry. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the rich and varied cultural histories of indigenous communities around the world.
