- Abstract
- Personnel of Japanese armed forces, who died for the Emperor at wars in the period from 1868 to 1945, have been enshrined at Shinto Yasukuni shrine. Before 1945 Yasukuni was an instrument of educating people in the spirit of nationalism and militarism. In the postwar time Yasukuni lost status of a state shrine, but keeps influence as a symbol of nationalistic values. There is a museum at the shrine, which exposition justifies militaristic policy. Liberal-democratic party of Japan strives to make Yasukuni a state-run shrine, but wide circles of Japanese society resist, defending freedom of belief and antiwar principles. In the foreign countries, primarily in PRC and RK, as well as in USA and Germany, experts negatively react to the attention, which Japanese political leaders demonstrate to Yasukuni shrine. In such attitude of ruling circles of the country they see the reluctance to give clear and negative evaluation to the policy of agression and colonial rule pursued by Japanese Empire.
