The Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, a controversial site that honors Japan's war dead, including convicted war criminals, has been vandalized again, marking the second such incident in three months. The shrine, which commemorates 2.5 million people who died in conflicts, is viewed by many Asian nations as a symbol of Japanese militarism. Among those honored are Class A war criminals, such as Hideki Tojo, Japan's wartime prime minister. The vandalism has been widely condemned as 'deplorable,' highlighting the shrine's complex role in international relations and memory of war. Yasukuni's significance and the repeated acts of vandalism underscore ongoing tensions related to Japan's wartime history.
