On December 5th, 1932, Hayashi Department Store opened and thus a modern age of Taiwanese culture began.
The decade of 1930s was the start point of modern civilization in Taiwan.
As the electric lamps, telephone, and water supply lines popularized, symbols of civilization such as the airplane and motor vehicles flooded into Taiwan.
The cafés were becoming the fad of the day, as well as pop culture, movies, phonographs and jazz music.
People's mentality was opening up, and freewill dating was taking over arranged marriages, while dresses were replacing kimonos and Westernized education was popularizing. This was Taiwan in the 1930s.
As the Pacific War broke out, the final waltz in the Dancing Age of Taiwan played.
And so the Hayashi Department Store ended its brief yet splendid rendezvous with Tainan.
Until the restoration was completed in 2013, Hayashi Department Store welcome a renaissance as Tainan Cultural Creative Department Store after 81 years. It becomes a window towards a New Modern Age in Tainan, and tells new stories of a newborn sprout of spring. So the New Life Movement has begun in Tainan.
