Lanyu (Orchid island, Taiwan) aboriginal wear


Tao people @ Orchid Island south of Taiwan. Traditional loincloth(Gigat) for formal occasion such as launching a new boat, new house, marriage etc. All hand made by family member. This is step by step how to wear it. Notice it is very different from Fundoshi - Japanese loin cloth. The grey front part is tuck in between the two front belt.
