The film looks at the history of Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda, Tokyo, where more than 2 million of Japan’s war dead are enshrined. More than 1,000 of them are war criminals convicted at the 194648 Tokyo tribunal, including 14 Class-A war criminals, Hideki T?j? among them. The film shows not only the widely reported political incidents associated with the shrine, but also takes an in-depth look at the shrine’s sword-making tradition, the Yasukuni sword being the film’s underlying motif.
