並列摘要
The paper attempts to trace Ōtani Kōzui, who was the brother-in-law of emperor Taishō, the 22th generation of leaders of Honganji Faction, a branch of Prue Land Buddism in Japan, and his stories of establishing of Shoyoen in colonial Kaohsiung. The paper aims to reach some conclusions through the review of archival data of both ＂Taiwan Daily News＂ and the historical collections on colonial Taiwan in National Taiwan Library. In 1917, Ōtani Kōzui paid his first visit to Taiwan. After 19 years, when Ōtani Kōzui paid his 5th visit in Taiwan, he decided to settle down in Kaohsiung and thought of building a house in Kaohsiung. Ōtani Kōzui used to serve as one of the committee members of Tropical Industry Survey at Taiwan Colonial Government. Also, Ōtani Kōzui established the Kōzui Society, which was a famous religious association in colonial Taiwan. After this, he was well respected by many devout worshipers and gave many religious speeches on Buddhism. In March 1936, he bought a big land in colonial Kaohsiung and started to construct the building named as Shoyoen. The whole construction of Shoyoen was built by Nikaku Construction in Kyoto. The building teamwork included several outstanding civil engineers, carpenters, and high-quality building materials. They made both the beautiful as well as unique Shoyoen, which we can witness in Kaohsiung now.
