A former campus Shinto shrine (校內社) on the grounds of Shuilin Public School, now Shuitsanlin Elementary School (水燦林國民小學), in Shuilin, Yunlin. The shrine was constructed in the northwest corner of the campus and inaugurated with a formal enshrinement ceremony (鎮座祭) on April 28, 1936. Students were required to pay respects at the shrine each morning before class. It may have also been a hōanden (奉安殿), a purpose-built structure for housing the imperial rescript on education and certain other ceremonial objects. Demolished in the post-war period. Shuilin was likely known as Suirin in Japanese.

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.
