Recently, a Japanese civil society organization held a symposium against the group visit of politicians and high-ranking officers of the Self-Defence Forces to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.
At the symposium on the theme of “Shine light of peace in the darkness of Yasukuni!”, Takahashi, emeritus professor of Tokyo University, said that the relations between the SDF and Yasukuni Shrine have been strengthened as he referred to the group visit of Japanese politicians to the shrine.
Saying that with the deployment of the SDF’s missile units on the Ryukyu Islands, they have become a frontline base against China, he noted that the residents may be killed in case of emergency and even if they are evacuated, their home villages would be turned into a theatre of war.
