Such people are not common. Japanese people think such action is very shameful against spirits of the dead all over the world. They may have Ultra‐rightist ideology or just love old Japanese military costumes. We don’t want to go back to previous Japanese Militarism.
Many Japanese reflect on harmful act in the past war and, in mourning ancestors passed away, act to convey misery of the war in the next generation. People of this image are some wrong thinkers. The times without the war pray to continue in future, and I act.
To those dumb people that still can't forgive Japan, I'll give u a logic here.
Nothing wrong for respecting soldiers that bravely fight for their country. Both sides giving them their bests. And we need to respect both.
Japan here not censoring history. It's also a good thing.
Everybody, I think there are a portion of military costume players in each country. I feel Reuters' malicious intention in attaching the costume players imitating soldiers of the Imperial Army.
