Graffiti sprayed in red on a stone pillar at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, Japan has been discovered, prompting a local police investigation.
An online video surfaced on XiaoHongShu, often referred to as the Chinese version of Instagram, showing a man who is suspected to be the culprit. The culprit can be seen urinating on the stone pillar at Yasukuni Shrine and spray-painting graffiti. This video in question is rapidly becoming viral online.
According to the Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun and other sources, Japanese police confirmed that the English word “toilet” was spray-painted in red on a stone pillar with the engraved name of Yasukuni Shrine.
A passerby discovered the graffiti around 6:20 AM that day and reported it to the police.
After the discovery, a curtain was drawn around the stone pillar and the removal of spray paint went under process.
On the same day, a video was posted on XiaoHongShu of a man, who introduced himself as Iron Head, performing a stunt that involved pulling down his pants and appearing to be urinating on the stone pillar of Yasukuni Shrine in the evening.
He also made comments such as, “Is there nothing we could do about the Japanese government discharging contaminated water into the sea?”
The man then pulled out a red spray can from his pocket, wrote the word toilet on the stone pillar, and left the scene in silence.
Japanese police have started their investigation into this man, who they consider a prime suspect, under the charge of property destruction.
Yasukuni Shrine is a facility commemorating the death of 2,466,000 people who died in civil wars and other numerous wars in Japan before and after the Meiji Restoration.
This place also enshrines 14 Class-A war criminals from the Pacific War.
It has been the site where incidents such as graffiti and explosions occurred in the past, as it is called a sacred place on the right wing in Japan.
