Japan A turn to the right?

摘要

Amid the imperial army's field guns that rust in the spring rain lies the massive hulk of the kaiten, a manned torpedo. At the gift shop, the white-robed Shinto priest sells guidebooks, charms and telephone cards bearing photographs of a suicide aircraft, the prize exhibit in the shrine's museum. Inside, an inscription honours Japan's kamikaze warriors. Before the shrine, a middle-aged man in a black suit throws coins into the offertory box and claps his hands, summoning the spirits of friends or relations who gave their lives for their country. Two great gold chrysanthemum crests, symbols of the imperial household, emblazon the gate.
