Скачать или смотреть Yushukan Military Museum, Tokyo- MM003

The Yushukan Museum in the Yakusuni Shrine in Tokyo houses a unique collection studying the history of the Japanese army from their origins in the Samurai era, through the Sino-Japanese and Russo Japanese Wars and covering the Second World War. I was only allowed to film the Second World War sections as seen here. I'm not sure why the earlier sections were forbidden from photographing or filming, except perhaps only in honour of the fallen. There were some standard late 19th and early 20th century uniforms and displays, but nothing that would require censorship.

The museum and shrine are a source of modern controversy. To many Japanese this a place to honour and remember their war dead. However many of the descendants of the victims of Japanese war crimes across Asia in the Second World War, see the shrine as commemorating war criminals.
