Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi presented sacrificial fees to the Yasukuni Shrine

China News Service, Tokyo, October 19. According to the Japan Broadcasting Association, Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae offered "tama skewers" (sacrificial fees) to the Yasukuni Shrine on the 19th.

On that day, about 70 members from Japan's cross-party parliamentarian alliance "Let's Visit the Yasukuni Shrine Together" paid homage to the Yasukuni Shrine.

The Yasukuni Shrine will hold its Autumn Festival from the 17th to the 19th. According to Japanese media reports, during the festival, Sanae Takaichi offered a sacrifice called "Masakaki" to the Yasukuni Shrine in the name of "Prime Minister". Japanese House of Representatives Speaker Mori Eisuke, Senate President Shoichi Sekiguchi and many other politicians also offered "Masakaki" sacrifices. In addition, Japan’s Minister of Economic and Fiscal Policy Minoru Shirouchi, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Tatsunori Ibayashi, Liberal Democratic Party Political Affairs Investigation Chairman Kobayashi Takayuki, General Affairs Chairman Kajiyama Hiroshi, Election Countermeasures Committee Chairman Nishimura Yasunari, Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee Arimura Hariko, and Assistant to the Prime Minister in charge of national security affairs Wakamiya Kenji and others visited the Yasukuni Shrine.

The Yasukuni Shrine is located in Chiyoda District, Tokyo. The shrine enshrines 14 World War II Class-A war criminals, including Tojo Hideki. For a long time, some Japanese politicians have insisted on visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, which has been strongly opposed by many peace-loving people in Japan and the international community.
