The Japanese colonial government used education as a vital means to rule the colony. It allowed them to discipline people, control ideologies, expedite assimilation, and strengthen people’s identity with the regime. Schools thus became ideal tools when implementing the state’s colonial policy. This made various schools a focal point in Prince Regent Hirohito’s imperial visit to Taiwan. The Taiwan Governor-General’s Office arranged for the Prince Regent to visit “the best schools” in different fields in numerous destinations. These included the Taihoku Specialist Medical School, the Normal School, the Higher Commercial School, the Higher Agriculture and Forestry School, and various middle schools and girls’ high schools in Taiwan. In addition, the Prince Regent also watched the “Joint Sports Meet for Schools Island-wide” at the newly inaugurated Maruyama Stadium (now part of the Taipei Expo Park) in Taipei.
