A monument erected around 1930, along with the construction of the Zhishanyan Shinto Shrine, to commemorate the six Japanese schoolteachers (六氏先生) murdered during the Zhishanyan Incident (芝山巖事件) on new year’s day in 1896. In the post-war era the monument was destroyed, along with most other Japanese structures on Zhishanyan, which became a military controlled area until the 1980s. In the early 2000s the monument was rebuilt.

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.
