Yasukuni Shrine is a Shinto shrine in central Tokyo that commemorates Japan's
war dead. The shrine was founded in
1869 with the purpose of enshrining those who have died in war for the
country and sacrificed their lives to help build
the foundation for a peaceful Japan. The spirits of about 2.5 million people,
who died for Japan in the conflicts and war,
are enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine in form of written records, which note
name, origin and date and place of death of
everyone enshrined.

A political controversy surrounds Yasukuni Shrine because since 1978, fourteen
class war criminals have been among
the 2.5 million people enshrined at Yasukuni. Furthermore, the official
visits by several Japanese prime ministers and
cabinet members to the shrine since 1975 have been causing concerns regarding
a violation of the principle of
separation of religion and politics. A big problem is not to separate and
transfer the sprits of war criminals to others.
Yushukan, a large war museum is located within the premises of the shrine,
that commemorates Japan's war history
from a conservative Japanese standpoint.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appears to have badly misjudged Washington's
reaction to his Dec. 26-visit to Yasukuni Shrine.
The U.S. government expressed disappointment at Abe's first visit as prime
minister to the Tokyo shrine that memorializes
Japanese war dead along with 14-Class-A war-criminals. This appears the
same as if that Prime Minister Angela Merkel
worshiped Adolf Hitler's Cemetery. Unless we separatethe remains of the
war criminals of the Second World War
(1939$B!>(B1945), no Government personals should visit to Yasukuni.
