Yasukuni: Enshrining War Criminals

Yasukuni shrine is one of the most touristed spots in Tokyo. Next to the Emperor s Palace in the centre of town, it is an easy addition to an otherwise normal walk around. But it is also a major point of contention. It enshrines war criminals, and is owned by a far right nationalist organization who deny fundamental atrocities committed in WW2. We thought it was worth a look. This video isn t scripted, so my apologies for the methodical, slow speed of my speech. This was one I wanted to do from the heart, but that comes with the trade-off of pausing to think.
