Disguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, Taiwan Travelogue is a bittersweet story of love and an artful exploration of language, history and power.
In May 1938, the young novelist Aoyama Chizuko sails from Japan to Taiwan. Chizuko dismisses the official banquets offered by the island’s Japanese rulers and instead follows her interpreter, who introduces her to island life and the local cuisine.
