The Enshrinement List[edit]

「A級戦犯の合祀は、旧陸軍の流れをくみ、元軍人が仕切った旧厚生省援護局(現厚生労働省社会・援護局)調査課が六六年、事務次官ら幹部に断りなくA級戦犯の名簿(祭神名票)を靖国神社に送ったことに始まる。これを受けて、東条英機内閣で大東亜相だった青木一男氏(故人)ら二人の元A級戦犯がリードする神社の総代会が七〇年に合祀の方針を決定した。 元海軍少佐で、義父が戦犯として処刑された松平氏は、合祀に踏み切るアンカー役だった。」 http://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/00/kakushin/20060721/mng_____kakushin000.shtml Vapour

Architecture[edit]

Can more information be provided as to the design, layout, and construction of the shrine? The article seems heavy in politics but very light in architecture. For example, how does it compare with the war memorials of other nations?

Why no controversy section?[edit]

Given that the shrine is best known for enshrining convicted war criminals and serving as a gathering point for Japanese ultranationalists, it seems quite strange that this article makes no mention of these facts at all. 120.17.39.216 (talk) 03:29, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
