fish of the day



traditional "four hand hanging net" 四手吊網 fishing boat on Sun Moon Lake 日月潭, Nantou County


(though possibly/probably a full-scale model built for touristic purposes - because the house part looks too small for the family who would have lived here in former times)


and here is a not-full-scale model showing (badly - apology for the poor photo) a family living and working on the same kind of boat.
Mr. Chang (whose father Chang L-kui 張連桂 made the model) said that Han Chinese used this kind of boat since all the land around Sun Moon Lake was owned by Aborigines
