While Japan occupied Taiwan, Japanese Buddhism came along with the Japanese army missionaries to Taiwan. Up to the end of the Japanese Occupation Period, there were eight religions and fourteen denominations islandwide; the Keelung area alone had eight religions and nine denominations. Among all these denominations, Shin Buddhism Honganji Denomination was the first Denomination imported and disseminated in Keelung. Therefore, by taking Shin Buddhism Honganji denomination as the study subject, adopting the literature analysis as the research method, and using rich archives and records in Mandarin Chinese and Japanese along with other important studies in this academic field as references, this study will explain the following issues: (1) how Shin Buddhism Honganji Denomination started to broaden and expand in Keelung, (2) the process of foundation, the result of dissemination, plus maintenance and operation of SBHD subsidiary temple-Kousonji (Guangzun temple) in Keelung, (3) the expansion of Kousonji Buddhist groups-including Keelung Buddhist Ladies Club, Keelung Buddhist Youth Club and the relevant modern Buddhist business, and (4) the contacts between Keelung elites and Shin Buddhism Honganji Denomination, along with the construction of their cultural nexus of power. This study provides a case study which shows the history of Buddhism development in Taiwan and/or the history of Japanese Buddhism in Taiwan.
