A designated store for the
navy run by Yamaguchi
Nobuyuki

Yamaguchi Nobuyuki was
born in Nagasaki Prefecture as the
eldest son of the deceased Zōgōrō.
Zōgōrō came straight to Penghu
after the Japanese takeover and
started a variety shop here. His
hard work paid off when his shop
was assigned as a designated store
for the navy; he was considered a
successful figure in Magong. After
he passed away on October 18,
1931, his son Nobuyuki inherited
his business and continues to run
the store.

as a mechanic in the Navy's
Mechanical Department until
1921, and opened a pawnshop after
retirement.

In 1925, Moriguchi built the
house he is currently living in; his
business is gradually growing.
