The office of the Okayama Prefectural Gokoku Shrine is a place where the spirits of those who died in the Boshin War, including Lord Akinobu Ikeda, the former lord of Bizen, are honored. When you touch upon this history, you can feel the respect and gratitude for the spirits that transcend time. This memorial service, which includes not only those who died in war but also those who died young due to illness and other reasons, reminds us of the importance of respecting life.
