Recalling the Memory of Tattaka

The film captures a two-day, one-night sketching tour undertaken by members of the Southern Art Association and their friends, retracing Ishikawa's journey through the Nantou mountains. The area has a rich history as a battleground between the aboriginal people and the Japanese army, making this film not only a visual journey but also a historical exploration.

In 2016, the discovery of the garrison site at Meifeng Farm by Taichung University added depth to the narrative. The film documents the efforts of young Sedgwick men from NTU's Mountain Experimental Farm who prepared the location for the sketching team by clearing fallen trees and weeds after a typhoon. This behind-the-scenes effort emphasizes the connection between nature, history, and art in a contemporary setting.
