The Enshrinement List

[edit]

「A級戦犯の合祀は、旧陸軍の流れをくみ、元軍人が仕切った旧厚生省援護局(現厚生労働省社会・援護局)調査課が六六年、事務次官ら幹部に断りなくA級戦犯の名簿(祭神名票)を靖国神社に送ったことに始まる。これを受けて、東条英機内閣で大東亜相だった青木一男氏(故人)ら二人の元A級戦犯がリードする神社の総代会が七〇年に合祀の方針を決定した。 元海軍少佐で、義父が戦犯として処刑された松平氏は、合祀に踏み切るアンカー役だった。」 http://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/00/kakushin/20060721/mng_____kakushin000.shtml Vapour

Architecture

[edit]

Can more information be provided as to the design, layout, and construction of the shrine? The article seems heavy in politics but very light in architecture. For example, how does it compare with the war memorials of other nations?

This is not a burial site!

[edit]

The Yasukuni Shrine is not a burial site in the traditional sense where actual bodies are buried. Instead, it is a Shinto shrine in Tokyo, Japan, that commemorates those who died in service of the Empire of Japan, particularly during wars from the Meiji Restoration in 1868 through World War II. 2601:49:8400:AC50:68C3:3FA3:F06A:65FE (talk) 00:40, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
