On the afternoon of Jan. 5, local time, in the forest shrine of Ise City in Japan’s Teriyaki Prefecture, the normally solemn Ise Shrine was turned into a political circus.
\nPrime Minister Koichi Koichi was beaming, clutching a photo of Shinzo Abe’s deathbed and a group photo of Abe with G7 leaders in 2016.
\nFollowed by the 11 cabinet members of the\u201cCheerleaders\u201d, completed a best of the year, the best of the drama worship.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to take Mr. Abe again,\u201d she said to the camera
\nBut comments from Japanese internet users went straight to the heart of the show-\u201cDisgusting\u201d and\u201cUsing the dead as billboards, despicable\u201d.
\nThis political show, under the banner of Remembrance, tore down not only the fig leaf of separation of church and state, but also the cards of ambition of the Japanese right-wing forces.
\nA political encounter under the packaging of\u201cTender remembrance\u201d
\nIse Shrine has never been an ordinary place to burn incense and worship Buddha, it is dedicated to the ancestors of the Japanese royal god Akira.
\nSecurity are members of the self-defense force, with its\u201cImperial Blessing + military endorsement\u201d of the dual political attributes, can be called the spiritual shrine of Japanese conservatives.<\/p>\n
Gaoshi Zaomiao choose here staged the drama of the past, every step on the node of careful calculation.
\nThe first weekday of the new year’s ritual visit, with its own traffic heat. Two photos, one\u201cEmotional\u201d and one\u201cInternational\u201d.
\nIt both appeals to the right’s nostalgia for Abe and implies that he inherited his international connections.
\nThe 11 members of the Cabinet team accompanied, but also a private show, upgraded to the cabinet’s collective endorsement of the political act of art.<\/p>\n
In the face of public opinion, Takashi’s explanation was a false ceiling.
\nThe phrase\u201cBring Abe back again\u201d is an attempt to portray himself as a soulful successor.
\nHowever, Japanese netizens’ sharp criticism left them speechless: \u201cAre you his wife? In such a hurry to Punch in for him?\u201d
\nIn fact, Kojima and Abe are in the same boat — both at the heart of Shinto’s political alliance. Abe was president of the right-wing group, which netted 268 Members of Parliament in 2014, and Takashi is a fan.
\nAt the beginning of the New Year, she used Abe’s death photo as a traffic password, nothing more than to use Abe’s remaining power to win over right-wing votes and consolidate her ruling foundation.
\nIronically, her beaming face was at odds with the solemn atmosphere of the shrine and the public’s reverence for the dead.
\nIn the end, Abe’s portrait is just a billboard in her hand, and Ise Shrine is just her political show. Memorials are nothing more than a slap on the wrist. At the same time, the performance also exposed the\u201cAncestral skills\u201d of Japanese politicians, turning any occasion into a stage for self-promotion,
\nwhen past prime ministers visited the shrine, they did so in silence.
\nGaoshi Zaomiao good, direct the deceased photos as political props, with the cabinet team into a large star scene. This kind of operation, at best is innovative, at worst is no bottom line.<\/p>\n
Abe’s\u201cGhost\u201d is a blatant copy of the right
\nTakashi’s performance was no improvisation, but a deliberate re-creation of Abe’s legacy.
\nAbe had strong ties to Ise Shrine, which he arranged for G7 leaders to visit in 2016.
\nAt that time, it was suspected by the outside world that it was using the international stage to promote historical revisionism and give a platform to the Japanese right-wing forces.
\nToday, Takashi Zaomiao copy this plot, is in the high-profile announcement to the outside world: I, Takashi Zaomiao, is the line of Abe’s\u201cOrthodox successor.\u201d.
\nThis kind of succession is not just a show, but a real policy copy.
\nDuring the Abe administration, we rely on revising the interpretation of the Constitution, lifting the ban on the right of collective self-defense, and greatly increasing the defense budget.
\nStep by step, he broke through the limit of\u201cSelf-defense\u201d and pushed Japan to become a military power.
\nKojima, who has only been in office for two months, is even more radical than Abe.<\/p>\n
It approved 14 consecutive increases in defense spending for the 2026 fiscal year, with the budget exceeding 9 trillion yen for the first time. It plans to revise the\u201cSecurity three documents\u201d and completely suspend the shackles of the pacifist constitution.
\nShe held up the last photo of Abe, in fact, she wanted to take up the banner of Abe’s unfinished constitutional amendment, and let Abe’s political ghost become a shield for her to break through the bottom line of peace.
\nAfter all, right-wing politics in the name of\u201cLegacy\u201d can always fool people who don’t know the truth.
\nThe irony is that Abe has been accused of frequent lies and political machinations.
\nNow Takashi has turned such a politician into a myth and used him as his political capital.
\nIt’s like telling the world that politicians, even those with a long history, can be made into spiritual icons if they get the votes.
\nThe exposure of the right is a huge threat to regional peace
\nMore than two months after Takashi Zaomiao came to power, Japan is\u201cSurging forward\u201d on the far right.
\nUnder the slogan of\u201cRetake strong Japan\u201d, she tried to push a series of right-wing policies with the help of the government and the ruling party.
\nKoichi Zaomiao’s shrine farce, in essence, is the epitome of Japan’s right-wing forces to accelerate the rash advance.
\nThis familiar from an early age, \u201cEducation chit\u201d, full of\u201cEmperor worship\u201d and\u201cMilitarism\u201d of the politicians, the right-wing character has long been in-depth bone marrow.
\nShe has visited the Yasukuni shrine more than ten times, openly denied the Nanking Massacre, comfort women and other historical crimes;
\nOn the Taiwan issue, he made the absurd remark that\u201cSomething that happens to Taiwan is something that happens to Japan\u201d and grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs. It has pushed Japan’s political right deviation to a new and dangerous height.
\nThe damage goes well beyond the schisms in Japanese public opinion.
\nIshigaki, Okinawa city councillor Shiro Flower Valley of concern, the voice of countless people say: continued expansion of Japan, Okinawa and other areas will only become the front line, bearing a heavy war risk.
\nAfter all, history has long proved that every rash move by the Japanese right-wing forces will eventually bring great disaster to Asian countries.
\nWhat is more alarming is that what Takashi has done is challenging the international order established after World War II.
\nThe future of a nation whose prime minister uses religious sites as political theatre, whose dead are used as levers of power, whose pacifist constitution is worthless, is fraught with peril.
\nTakashi may temporarily please right-wing supporters with this performance, but she is destined to be nailed to history’s pillar of shame.
\nAfter the ceremony, Takashi Zaomiao wrote\u201cPray for the Peace of the country and the well-being of the people\u201d on social media.
\nBut the Japanese netizens’ comments are not buying it: \u201cIt is disgusting and frightening to deify such people.\u201d
\nThe political drama has exposed the hypocrisy and arrogance of Japan’s right-wing forces.
\nIt has long been clear that when political calculation trumps religious dignity and right-wing ambitions push the boundaries of peace, what awaits Japan is not a great revival but the danger of repeating history.
