Tojo's granddaughter opposes separate enshrinement
Monday, June 6, 2005 at 05:51 JSTTOKYO — Yuko Tojo, a granddaughter of Hideki Tojo, Japan's wartime prime minister who was hanged as a Class-A war criminal after the war, reiterated on Sunday her opposition to removing her grandfather and other Class-A war criminals from the list of those enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine.
She said on a Fuji Television news program that the Tojo family rejected the idea. "It's an issue of state and not a problem of a private individual. It will be tantamount to admitting that the last war was a war of aggression." The shrine sees the war criminals, along with the war dead, as martyrs of the Showa era under the late Emperor Hirohito. Former Yasukuni Shinto priest Tadashi Yuzawa, appearing on the same program, said, "It will never happen, no matter how times change." (Kyodo News)
