In 1897 (the 30th year of the Meiji Era), Kanori Ino took a south-bound trip for preparing facilities for educating aboriginal ‘barbarians’. He traveled through Shui-she Lake (today’s Sun Moon Lake) and performed investigations to collect useful information on six aborigines’ tribes which included Shui-she, Tou-she, Mao-lan-she, Shen-lu-she, Pu-she, and Mei-she. This document is the record he left behind from that investigation field trip. |
