About the Author
The Editorial Committee of the Temporary Taiwan Indigenous Customs Investigation Society (臨時臺灣舊慣調查會 編) was established in the early 20th century during Japanese colonial rule over Taiwan, tasked with systematically documenting the customs, traditions, and social structures of Taiwan's indigenous peoples. Comprising anthropologists, linguists, and colonial administrators, the committee conducted extensive fieldwork across Taiwan's mountainous regions and plains, compiling detailed ethnographies that captured the rich cultural diversity of groups such as the Atayal, Bunun, and Paiwan. Their work, grounded in rigorous observation and interviews, provided invaluable insights into indigenous languages, rituals, kinship systems, and daily life, serving as a foundational resource for understanding Taiwan's pre-modern ethnic tapestry while reflecting the era's colonial perspectives on native societies.
