Abe did the same at Yasakuni shrine in Tokyo, drove the Chinese batty.

Indeed, considering that 14 class-A war criminals were enshrined there in 1978. Including Iwane Matsui, the general responsible for the Nanking massacre.

Zen for you. “If you see the Buddha, kill the Buddha,” if you are on the path of Meifumado (hell bound, just quoting from Lone Wolf and Cub;-).

I see you too have a problem separating religious practice from politics.

But that’s OK, I expected as much.

There are many war criminals buried all over the world.

But one can still pray for their souls without voting for them, or sanctioning their horridly inhumane activity.

George Armstrong Custer is one of ours. So is Bowe Bergdahl who is being tried right now.

You might want to google:

Moro Crater massacre

USS Wahoo

Battle of the Bismarck Sea PT Boats

Canicattì massacre

Frank Sheeran

No Gun Ri Massacre

My Lai Massacre

We pray for all of those US soldiers souls who were involved committing genocide, rape, torture and massacre. Shinzo Abe is no different.

Thank you Shinzo samma!
