At the time of the shrine’s foundation on September 18, 1900, it enshrined the three deities of the frontier―Okunitama, Onamuchi and Sukunahikona―and Prince Yoshihisa. This paper examines the shrine’s remodeling, additional enshrinement and a plan to move the go-shintai( objects worshiped as repositories where deities reside) during the Showa Period. Details of the remodeling became clear through close examination of newspaper articles and other material. The study revealed little-known facts―for example, that many people including the shrine’s chief priest Toru Yamaguchi, while accepting the remodeling as a given, were against moving the go-shintai ; that the general headquarters overrode the opposition and went ahead with the remodeling and moving ; and that the plan for remodeling and moving was heavily influenced by the intentions of the Home Ministry as shown by the fact that Takashi Sunami of the Home Ministry’s Shinto shrine bureau created the basic design of the shrine’s buildings. Consequently, the design was drawn up by Eiichi Ogawa, who was chosen by the Home Ministry. The planned Shinto ceremony to purify the site was postponed for no clear reason and finally held nine months later. The discovery of unexpected signs of a landslide at the planned site for the main building was revealed to be the cause of the delay. Also, although the shrine carried out the additional enshrinement of the Goddess Amaterasu and managed to become elevated to a grand shrine, the go-shintai could not be moved since a new shrine building was destroyed by fire. The newly discovered ‶Ground plan of the Taiwan Shrine and its vicinity" was drawn up in the early stages of the shrine’s Showa Period remodeling project. The plan’s initial stages became clear through the document. Furthermore, details from before and after a plane crash were revealed through a 1 : 10000 topographical map created by the U.S. Army as well as aerial photos. On-site studies led to the discovery of new remains. Those underground were similar to the ‶Goddess Amaterasu air-raid shelter" built at a state-founded religious institution in former Manchuria. The shelter is believed to have been built for evacuating the go-shintai in case of emergency. Also, the area for the planned shrine building, details of which were completely unknown, could be seen in an aerial photo based on the discovery of lined walls., Departmental Bulletin Paper, 論文}, pages = {1--29}, title = {台湾神社から台湾神宮へ -台湾神社昭和造替の経過とその結果の検討-}, year = {2012} }
