Description

Kamekichi Kurokawa was born in Gunma and was a Japanese teacher who went to Colonial Taiwan in 1899. He worked for public schools (for Taiwanese children) in southern Taiwan and　remote islands until his　death in November, 1920. Mino public school in Kaohsiung was the last school he worked for. When he was in Mino, he was involved in the establishment of three branch schools and was trusted by the local community. After the death of Kurokawa, a monument was built by local residents, and the students of Mino public school visited on the day of his death every year. After Japanese colonial rule, the location of this monument was forgotten, and was discovered again in 2015. The existence of “Principal Kurokawa” was also remembered again. However, there still remain some questions as to the factual correctness of the documents of Kurokawa. By researching into the documents again, I clarified his contribution and the meaning of the monument to Mino people under Japanese colonial rule.
