A wooden playhouse and theater established in Ximending in 1902. It was mainly a venue for plays and performances, mostly Japanese in origin, and some silent films were also screened in the early years. Although likely known as Taihoku Ei-za in Japanese it was known to the Western press simply as The Eiza. It was demolished in the early post-war years and replaced by Wanguo Theater.

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.
