Taipei Camphor Refinery Shinto Shrine (日本樟腦會社台北支店構內社) - Spectral Codex
日本樟腦會社台北支店構內社

A company shrine (構內社) on the grounds of the Taipei Camphor Refinery, which was established next to Taipei Winery in 1918. Together with the Monopoly Bureau’s official works at Nanmen, this privately-run plant was one of only two modern camphor refineries in colonial Taiwan. The shrine was a branch of the Kusunogi Shrine (久須乃木社), the “camphor tree shrine” at Nanmen, and stood in what is now the corner of Huashan 1914 Creative Park near the National Audit Office (審計部). The brewery alongside it had its own Taipei Winery Shinto Shrine (臺北松尾神社). Nothing of either remains.
