Cross-Boundary Dream Pursuers: Taiwanese Painters’ Trajectories in Foreign Countries during the Japanese Colonial Period

On the Open House day in 2018, the Archives of the Institute of Taiwan History featured an exhibition, Travel Memories II—Taiwanese Painters’ Landscape Sketches, from digital records collected by the Archives in recent years. This exhibition selected four Taiwanese painters, Yen Shui-long, Liu Chi-hsiang, Chen Cheng-po, and Kuo Hsueh-hu, by presenting the records of their passports, certificates, photographs, correspondence, and paintings and exploring their life experiences of practicing goals, embarking on adventures abroad, and contributing to society. Let us trace the senior painters’ paths of crossing borders and pursuing dreams by appreciating these precious records and the abundant colors in their paintings!

III. Conclusion
Dihua Street of Dadaocheng still has several historical architectures from the Qing dynasty and Japanese colonial period, each with different architectural features. As time goes by, the appearance of old building can be maintained and repaired by architectural techniques, the people who once lived in the buildings and the stories which had happened in the past can only be recorded by related historical sources and archival documents. The Chen Family who ran Tai-yi-hou in Nagasaki preserved a great amount of commercial letters from East Asia, providing precious clues for reconstructing history. The Commercial activities of the Century-old Stores on Dihua Street are as vivid as we read the handwriting on the letters.
