Latin Bridge, First World War and Abe

Here is where Austrian crown prince and his wife were killed in 1914

Due this assassination, the First World War started

This is called "Sarajevo Incident／サラエボ事件"

Every single Japanese school textbooks mention this event

---

2 months will have passed since ex-Japanese prime minister, Abe, was shot dead

When this devastating event happened in July, for a moment this "Sarajevo Incident" came across my mind

Probably because geographically I was close to Sarajevo/Bosnia..., one of the highest persons in a country was killed in a public..., English news media often used this term, "assassination"...

Sharp sadness surely faded away, but still difficult to believe

His state funeral will take place later this month in Tokyo

I wish I'll be in Tokyo that day
