In recent years, we all have heard the controversial news of Japan’s prominent leaders visiting the Yasukuni Shrine. The Yasukuni Shrine is not just a shrine that happens to enshrine the very leaders that plunged Japan into the Asia Pacific War (Class A War Criminals) and into an alliance with fascist dictatorships of Italy and Nazi Germany as a member nation of the Axis Powers. It is an institution that unabashedly represents views of those who romanticize Japan’s war of aggression as a “Holy War” that sought to ‘liberate Asia for Asians,’ and refuses to admit Japan’s responsibility in Japan’s numerous atrocities including, for instance, the Nanjing Massacre (‘the Rape of Nanking’). The repeated visits by Prime Minister Abe and his cabinet members to the Yasukuni Shrine strongly suggest the Administration aligns with such views.
