Yasukuni Shrine returns monument to Korean people
TOKYO, Japan - The Bukgwandaecheopbi monument at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, which was built in memory of Korean Admiral Li Sun Sin who fought against Japanese expeditions launched by warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) to conquer Korea in the late 1590s, was returned to South Korea on Oct. 12. The monument had been kept at the shrine after Japanese forces brought it to Japan during the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War. (Kyodo)
