Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine for war dead on Saturday, his first visit since December 2013, after refraining from doing so for most of his term to avoid angering China and South Korea.

Abe announced the visit on his official Twitter account along with a photo of himself at the shrine, just days after Yoshihide Suga succeeded him as Japan’s leader. Japan’s longest-serving leader stepped down, citing health problems.

Abe had only visited the shrine in person once during his last tenure as prime minister but regularly sent offerings via an aide during the shrine’s spring and autumn festivals.

Imagine what would happen if a former German chancellor worshipped Hitler

The people of Oshu/Tohoku region (the northern part of Japan) , including me, must never forget that The Yasukuni Shrine is a symbol of the New government army's aggression to Oshu in The Boshin War of 1868.
