Yasukuni Shrine and Hokkaido !


by Kazu

We visited "Yasukuni Shrine" for the first time in our lives to conduct an official worship in the main sacred house of the shrine. The deceased in the wars including World War Ⅱ are worshiped in the shrine.
Many cherry trees on the premises of the shrine were flourished and wearing pink blossoms on their branches.Against the backdrop of the pale blue sky, pink cherry blossoms were shining with the sunlight in the morning.
I had not avoided to visit there but as a result, it was my first visit in my 59 years.the gate was huge. Most of the deceased in the wars said "Meet again at Yasukuni !" It might reduced the threat of the imperial soldiers in the wars. What a cruel, kind and fascinating words they were, in that era.
