A small Shinto shrine (校內社) established on the grounds of Kanan-juku (嘉南塾), an agricultural vocational school established in 1934 to train rural youth and cultivate reverence for the Japanese state and gods. Originally located in Guantian, Tainan, it was moved to Citong, Yunlin in 1936, ostensibly to aid in the development of the nearby Sakae Immigrant Village. The school was renamed Tonan Vocational Agricultural School (斗南專修農業學校) in 1941 before undergoing several post-war reorganizations, eventually becoming Citong Junior High School (莿桐國中) in 1968. The campus has since been thoroughly modernized and no traces of the shrine are known to survive.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
