Yasukuni War Cry

Victory or agony? It’s hard to tell.

I’ve been to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine a few times. This is where Koizumi gets in trouble for paying official visits because it enshrines the war dead—heros and Class A criminals alike.

Walking through it on Sunday evening, my eye fell on the large stone lanterns that flank the entrance. On each side of the hexagonal base is a bronze scultpure with a war scene from land or sea.

You can see all six of the brozes and the lantern they are attached to, in my Yasukuni Flickr set

I know this place is the place in argument. But for me it is only the place my grand father is enshrined, so it is just a memorial place. It is a calm and quiet place.
