Why Japanese Showa Emperor , Emperor Hirohito (裕仁天皇）(1901-1989) stopped Yasukuni visits since 1978? His sudden decision to stop and never came to Yasukuni again in his remaining years has provoked all kinds of guesses, However, this secrete was revealed by a memo of his secretary that was made public today.
In the memo, emperor Hirohito expressed his unhappiness towards Yasukuni Shrine's decision to put Class A criminals of World War II into the worship hall. Before that decision, only Class B and Class C war criminals were worshiped in Yasukuni Shrine. According to the memo, Emperor Hirohito said, “that’s why I didn’t go to (the Yasukuni) since (the decision), that’s my thought.”「だから私はあれ以来、参拝していない」「それが私の心だ
The memo also disclosed that the Emperor criticized the Yasukuni’s top that made the decision, he couldn’t understand why the person made the decision.「松平の子の今の宮司がどう考えたのか。易々と―」
The memo is not only stirring up a hot debate among Japanese politicians in deciding who will be next prime minister, it certainly will also draw international attention to this hotly debated issue.
