Kanarun Shinto Shrine (虷子崙祠) - Spectral Codex
虷子崙祠カナルン祠

A former Shinto shrine established in the Paiwan Indigenous community of Kanadun in the Japanese colonial era. The tribe relocated to its present site in 1940 so the shrine may be found at the previous location, a short distance to the north of the current site, or perhaps it was built after the move. In any case, no leads can be found pointing to the location of the former shrine nor its post-war history so nothing more is known about it. Likely known as Kanarun-shi in Japanese.

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).
