On October 17, the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, Japan, will host its Annual Fall Rites. Every year at this time, the shrine to Japan's war dead becomes a focus of controversy. But why do the arguments surrounding it persist to this day? Ahead of the Fall Rites, we meet survivors of World War II and firsthand witnesses to atrocities committed during the war, as well as researchers and ordinary Japanese people who continue to question and reflect on that period of history.
