The “Taiwan Gyoukei” was the imperial inspection of the colony of the highest standard. Therefore, the venues and places of the inspection inevitably conveyed the imperial gaze to uphold the imperial power, consolidate the colonial regime, and foreground the ruling power. The photographic images in this section are divided into four types: military facilities and strongholds highlighting the ruling power; public buildings such as prefectural halls and official organizations that symbolize political power; shrines manifesting the heaven-given imperial power and the emperor’s absolute rule and majesty; and massive crowds lining the streets to welcome the ruler.
