Love it when people arguing for the arguably correct side discredits themselves by making shit up.
There’s far better topics when discussing Japanese imperialism, postwar nationalism, and atrocity denial. Yasukuni shrine meanwhile, is an independent religious entity that independently determined that the war criminals charged after the war fit the requirements to be enshrined among over 2 million other war dead.
Edit: because people don’t read the title, I’m not defending the inclusion of war criminals in the book of the dead in the Yasukuni shrine. Instead, I’m pointing out the large amount of misinformation around the shrine.

Not sure if this is just OP being willfully ignorant or a rage bait……

yeah thats like saying the Vietnam or Holocaust Memorials worship child rapists because maybe one or two of the thousands of fallen might have molested a little girl with noone ever knowing, for example

I would like to see how you would react if Germany had a memorial (or a shrine of sorts) for all it’s war heroes dating back to German unification

Correct me if I’m wrong, but surely the vast majority of Japan’s war dead from the Meiji Era onwards were involved in WW2, and the invasions of places like Korea and China?

“Why my Korean father, forcibly conscripted by Imperial Japan and killed, is still on the shrine?”
“It’s for their voluntary defense of Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. We’re honoring them and what’s the problem?”

The particular shrine they’re referring to inters the Japanese war criminals from WWII as well as the regular soldiers. It is unique in that there are plenty of shrines that inter just the ones who haven’t committed crimes against humanity. The very same shrine is host to a yearly ultra nationalist event where Japanese racists gather to complain about foreigners. One of the few genuinely unsafe events in Japan for foreigners.

Literally Hirohito boykotted the shrine, because of the war criminal issue.
