The next day, the sky stretched cloudless for miles, and colorful flags fluttered in the wind!
Early in the morning, a huge crowd had already gathered before the torii gate of Yasukuni Shrine! In Japan, Yasukuni Shrine held two memorial ceremonies every year, divided into the Spring Festival and Autumn Festival, each lasting three days.
As the morning sun rose, the shrine's ceremony had monks don special ceremonial robes and stand on either side of the torii gate, waiting for Inuyagi Ichigyo!
Normally, Japan's leader was more likely to pay respects during the autumn ceremony. However, the major earthquake around Mount Fuji earlier this year, along with the aftershocks, had caused enormous losses for the people. In addition, Inuyagi Ichigyo needed to use the memorial ceremony to divert attention from his approval ratings.
Therefore, the ceremony had to begin with Inuyagi Ichigyo personally honoring the so-called heroic spirits before the public could begin their own worship. Three days was more than enough time for everyone to pay their respects!
Before seven in the morning, all kinds of evil spirits had already begun appearing one after another outside Yasukuni Shrine's torii gate!

Japan's territory had inherently made its people contradictory
