  PICT2601.JPG - Entrance to Yasukuni Shrine, the central Japanese site in Japan to honor the war dead, but also a remnant of prewar militarism and imperialism, for which Yasukuni Shrine was a major pillar. The Yasukuni Jinja was founded as a Shinto shrine in 1869 for the worship of the divine spirits of those persons who sacrificed themselves for their country.
