A security officer attempts to play with a young shy boy at Yasukuni Shrine — 靖国神社 — Tokyo, Japan.
When the boy shies away and pulls back toward his mother the officer suggests a hat exchange.
And the deal works… …sort of!
Established in 1869 as Shokonsha and renamed 10 years later, Yasukuni Shine honors the war dead of Japan. It sits in Central Tokyo near the Imperial Palace.
