TOKYO � Emperor Hirohito expressed strong displeasure in 1988 over Yasukuni Shrine's decision in the late 1970s to include Class-A war criminals from World War II in the list of war dead honored there, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Thursday, citing a memorandum by a former Imperial Household Agency official.
"That's why I have not visited the shrine since," the late emperor reportedly told former Imperial Household Agency Grand Steward Tomohiko Tomita.
The newspaper said it obtained a memorandum written by Tomita containing the emperor's remarks. |
