- description: Aug 15, 1945 65 years old Japan officially surrendered and thereby ending World War II. Every year nationalistic rightwing groups gather to protest the Peace Anti-War demonstrators at the controversial Yasukuni Shrine. Yasukuni Shrine dates back to the mid-19th Century and it is a shrine for all those died serving the Emperor. In 1978 the spirits of Class A war criminals were enshrined there and official government visits there have often sparked outrage with Asian countries who suffered from Japan's actions in WWII. The Peace Party marched through a gauntlet of rightwingers surrounded by police in riot gear. Some of the rightwingers would make for the Peace party but would always get stopped by the police. Some of it seem a bit more for show especially this day as it was so freaking hot. I don't think either had the energy to really duke it out.
