A Chinese National was arrested and two are wanted for graffiti on a stone pillar at Yasukuni Shrine. When interviewed in China, the man who carried out the graffiti said that he didn’t accept that it was illegal and that he couldn’t be sorry.

With his hands in his pocket, the man in the video headed towards Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. The man then climbed up the stone pillar and started spray-painting graffiti in redthe word “toilet.” The man then left the shrine.

The one minute video was posted and went viral on a Chinese social media, and was investigated by the Public Security Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police as a case of destruction of property.

On July 9, just over a month after the graffiti was found, a man seen in the video, Dong Guangming (36), a Chinese National, and a film crew, Xu Laiyu (25), were wanted on suspicion of graffiti and other offenses.

The suspect who carried out the crime, Dong, had already returned to China shortly after the incident and when interviewed in Shanghai, China, on June 3, he admitted that he was the one in the video and that he had done the graffiti and other acts.

He stated: “I did it, it was an idea I had thought about for two or three days. When I found out that the Japanese Government had given an energy company, TEPCO, permission to discharge nuclear contaminated water, I got angry! I don’t accept that this is illegal. I can’t be sorry. Idiots!”
