Taiwan under Japanese rule
The Taiwan Esperanto Association was a Taiwanese society founded to promote Esperanto. It was active in Taiwan under Japanese rule, notably Taipei, during the 1920s and 1930s. Its predecessor was the Japan Esperanto Association, Taiwan Branch, founded in 1913 by Kodama Shirō (児玉四郎). (The new Tajvana Esperantista Asocio, founded 1990, is historically unrelated.) The society exchanged its official monthly publication, "La Verda Ombro" ("The Green Shade"; 1919-1924), with many similar-minded societies overseas. The well-known political activist (連 温卿) was the main editor.
