Does anyone know if there’s any basis behind Abe being affiliated with some kind of “religious group” or is this like, a John Hinkley type of thing (particular since the assassin is claiming an apolitical motive)
Speculation I’ve heard is on the Unification Church (the Moonies, who articulate with conservative parties in Japan in the same sense as here, but are of Korean origin and factor into some ultranationalist thinking) or Soka Gakkai (whose pocket party, the Komeito, the LDP was in coalition with)
