There probably won't be much of any reaction by other activists. The man was very old. As well, once you can get past the fact that he only took his own life it was a very peaceful protest.

It's the 21st century; surely Yasuo had other options?
Maybe the foreign dove justifies his not visiting the shrine as a depiction that he will never give in to activist threats? Reassures and warns at the same time. Edited: His name is Fukuda too, isn't it? Coincidence? Guess that kinda applies to Hitler, although his case is somewhat different.

Tenchu : because i know from my chinese and korean friends that they are very sensitive about this issue (not helped by their media and governments making it out to be the biggest insult) so i assume those who grew up in china/korea who read this site and i believe there are a couple, will not be happy.
CoolNard - i think hitler was an amazing man for how he was able to get to power and achieve the things he did within his country. but i still consider him an awful person for his beliefs and actions directly or indirectly taken through his command. |

Couldn't have said it better myself. There are always values in life to be learnt, even from the worst of people. It's a matter of how we choose to 'wield' them.

Strange how this guy could own a gun... anyways my point of view of what I've just read is :-
Japan didn't do more crimes than any other country, but because Japan lost the war, it is humiliated and said to have commited so much crimes, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor ( army vs. army ) wich is usually part of war, USA hit Japan with two nuclear bombs, on two cities filled with citizens and children ( bomb vs. citizens ), it's still not considered a war crime, how come? it's quite simple, the Winner always writes History, therefore if Japan won the war, USA leaders would have been executed for THEIR crimes, and so on... What I am trying to say is that such things as visiting a shrine doesn't make any real problem for other countries like China, but considering that China hates Japan, China would MAKE a problem out of it so that it can worsen the relationship between the two of them, that's all. |

Yay.
People at everywhere were always telling me that they wouldn't allow foreigners in Shinto. I guess if you're told something enough, you start to believe it. Or at least strongly wonder if it's true. Great then, I look forward to taking part in all sorts of Shinto when I return to Japan. |
