Kawanakajima Shinto Shrine (川中島社祠) - Spectral Codex

Completed in 1937 after several groups of Seediq Indigenous people were forcibly relocated to the area by the Japanese authorities in what is now Guoxing, Nantou. Details are hazy but it seems to have been dismantled early into the post-war period. Several former sites have been identified by different sources but it seems likely it was at the site of Yusheng Memorial Monument (餘生紀念碑), which commemorates survivors of the Wushe Incident (霧社事件) of 1930.
