13.7.19 self-portrait with lanterns, Yasakuni shrine. . I learned a valuable lesson, when I got home, about googling cultural institutions *before* you go there. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have gone, but I rather wish I had known during this visit that Yasakuni has *fourteen class A war criminals* enshrined within it. That… puts rather a different cast on the whole ‘eat and dance and make merry in honour of the souls of the dead’ festival vibe! https://ift.tt/2llcbf4
