A Japanese War Crime
Museum
Last week, Japanese
prime minister Taro Aso sent an offering
to Yasukuni Shrine in honour of Japan's
war dead, that include the convicted war
criminals. A day later nearly 90 Japanese
parliament members visited the shrine,
thus a historical link between Japan's
past war crimes and today's Japanese
nation has been once again reinforced,
and the interests for its karmic debt
keep growing, growing, growing ....
Some facts
about Yasukuni Shrine:
It is
dedicated to Japan's 2.5 million
war dead, including about 1,000
convicted war criminals.
The shrine
played a central role in the
wartime state Shinto religion
which mobilised the population to
invade other nations in the name
of its emperor.
Among those
honoured are 14 World War Two
leaders convicted by an Allied
tribunal as "Class A"
war criminals, including prime
minister Hideki Tojo. Seven of
these were executed by hanging.
The Class A
criminals were listed as gods at
Yasukuni in a secret ceremony in
1978.
