@Scnadal" These kimonos are handsewn, Used to be silk or cotton before nylons were invented.

From these formal kimonos and the way they bow, I can see how much respect and sorrow they have for the people who are enshrined here.

Let us not forget WHAT this place actually stands for. Not good.

Yes, Yasukuni actually stands for their ancestors' souls.
