Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Wednesday (April 22) made a monetary offering to the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, a symbol of Japanese militarism and wartime aggression, on the occasion of its spring festival.
A cross-party group of 126 Japanese lawmakers on Wednesday visited the notorious Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, local media reported.
Takaichi also sent a ritual "masakaki" tree offering to the war-linked shrine on Tuesday.
Yasukuni Shrine, located in central Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, honors 14 convicted Class-A Japanese war criminals from World War II. It has long been a source of diplomatic friction between Japan and its neighbors.
