A group of young professionals in Japan has started a website where everyone who appreciates Shinzo Abe outside of Tokyo and Japan can offer digital flowers and their tributes. RapplerBlogs Opinion
One of the first things I wanted to do when I got to Tokyo in late July was to offer flowers for slain former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. I knew that his Liberal Democratic Party had set up tables at the HQ grounds in Nagatacho, where the public could bring flowers and sign the condolences books.
Today, September 27, at 2 pm Japan time — six days after he would’ve turned 68, and 11 weeks after his assassination — Abe-san will be honored with a state funeral, something done only once for a government leader since the war ended. There is also the special edition of Seiron magazine, with only a few thousand copies printed and reprinted, and which have sold out. It features photos and insights about the person and the politician, excellently curated by an editor who had known him for years. !
