STUDY ON BUILDINGS OF THE TAIWAN PAVILION IN THE FIFTH NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION IN 1903

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify buildings which were moved from cities in Japanese colonial Taiwan as parts of the Taiwan pavilion for the Fifth National Industrial Exhibition in 1903 in Osaka, Japan. This paper notes two of these buildings. Tokukei-do, originally a family's mausoleum in Tainan, was required for the site of shrine of Prince Kitashirakawa. The stage for dancing called Bugaku-do originally existed in the courtyard of the government office of the Qing Dynasty in Taipei, which was converted into Taiwan Governor's Office. These buildings which were moved from Taiwan appeared as a result of changes in appearance in cities in the early days of Japan's rule in Taiwan.
