Ein Shinto-Schrein, die Verfassung und der Friede
Eine Chronologie
Der Yasukuni-Schrein wurde kurz nach der Meiji-Restauration gegründet. In ihm wurden "die für das Land Gefallenen als Helden eingeschreint." "Nach dem Krieg wurde der Schrein aus der Förderung durch den Staat herausgelöst und ist heute als ein religiöser Verein tätig." Dann "wurden 1978 die vom Kriegsverbrechertribunal in Tokyo verurteilten Kriegsverbrecher der A-Klasse ebenfalls eingeschreint." (Kyodan 2006)
