Japan’s Yasukuni Shrine: Glorifying war and distorting history

Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Japan’s war dead including convicted war criminals, is highly controversial. Visits by Japanese leaders anger neighboring countries because the shrine and its museum glorify Japan’s wartime militarism, downplay or distort atrocities like the Nanjing Massacre, and ignore the suffering of Asian civilians. Critics say this glorification harms regional relations and prevents honest reflection on history, though some visitors recognize and condemn these distortions.
