Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga sent a tribute to Yasukuni Shrine, where the war criminals of the Pacific War were incorporated.
Prime Minister Suga celebrated the Yasukuni Shrine Spring Festival, which began with a two-day schedule starting today (21st), and offered a tribute instead of visiting directly.
Prime Minister Suga's dedication of the tribute can be interpreted as aiming for a de facto worship effect in domestic and political terms while reducing the diplomatic burden of direct worship.
Prime Minister Suga did not worship at Yasukuni Shrine's Autumn Festival in October of last year, but offered a tribute.
