Xiushui Public School Shinto Shrine (秀水公學校校內神社) - Spectral Codex

A former Shinto shrine on school campus about which little is known. It may have been a remote worship shrine (大麻奉齋殿). It was mostly dismantled sometime after the war, leaving a stone base, and the pair of komainu remaining on site appear to have been salvaged from the nearby Xiushui Shinto Shrine (秀水神社). Access to the site is restricted during school hours.

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).
