On the day North Korea carried out nuclear test, there was a memorial service for the war dead at the Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery in Tokyo. Chidorigafuchi is very famous for cherry blossoms every spring.
The memorial service was under the auspices of Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Prime Minister Aso attended it and offered flowers.
The Japanese government formed groups for collecting remains of the war dead and has been sending every year overseas. This time, the groups went to the Philippines, the Solomon Islands and so on to find remains. Among them, 1,406 remains that could not be handed over to bereaved families were put in the Ossuaries of the Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery.
In all, 354,332 remains have been laid.
On the day people should be solemn and quiet, they blew up nuclear equipment.
Did they know the Japanese memorial service beforehand?
