War museum

We visited a war museum. It was within the grounds of a Shinto memorial. 

Multiple feelings. Gave a deep perspective to the Japanese psychi and history.  They don't refer to World War Two. It's the "Greater East Asian War".  

Photos were not allowed in most of it and in a way one didn't want to take photos.   The loss of human life in War seems so pointless.  Many of the plaques told stories of individual courage ending in death. 

Easy to take photos of military hardware as that does not depict personal grief.
