Translation result
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made an additional personal payment for offerings to Yasukuni Shrine one day after her initial donation. On the morning of the 22nd, Takaichi, using her own funds, donated the payment for a “tamagushi” offering through Haruko Arimura, the party’s general affairs chair. The previous day she had refrained from visiting the shrine but donated a “masakaki” offering in the name of “Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.” South Korea and China publicly condemned the move, yet she returned the next day to provide extra funds for the offerings. #Japan #Takaichi #Yasukuni #offering #payment #donation Yonhap News TV — For inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk/LINE jebo23; Choi Jin‑kyung (highjean@yna.co.kr)
