Zuozhen Japanese Pilot Monument

An obscure memorial to the Hatanaka Shuji Plane Crash Incident (畑中修飛機事件), in which a Japanese fighter pilot crashed on this hill in 1941. Chen Chunmu (陳春木), a Taiwanese official at the local branch of the hokō system of community policing, organized the construction of a monument a year later, and maintenance and upkeep has remained in the family over the many decades since. Finding it might be tricky; it is located near the southeast end of the brick kiln in this area, across a possibly dry stream, and up a small hill through the bamboo forest.
