Members of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet along with other senior lawmakers from a number of different parties visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine on Tuesday.
The visits to the war-linked shrine in Tokyo came a day after Abe himself made a ritual offering at the shrine that honors Japan's war dead, including 14 convicted Class A war criminals.
Following Abe, on Tuesday, Japan's Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Yasuhisa Shiozaki also visited the notorious shrine, while House of Representatives Speaker Tadamori Oshima and House of Councillors President Chuichi Date made ritual offerings at the Shintoshrine, which is widely seen as a living testament to Japan's past militarism.
Visits by leaders to the war-linked shrine draw the ire of Japan's neighbors, including South Korea and China who suffered immeasurably at the barbaric hands of the Imperial Army of Japan before, during and after World War II.
