Shinzo Abe State Funeral: Japan’s Longest-Serving Prime Minister 

Japan is credited with becoming more secure and stable under Shinzo Abe's leadership. In the years leading up to Shinzo Abe's return to government in 2012, Japan experienced its worst crisis since World War Two.

Shinzo Abe, who served as Japan's longest-serving prime minister after World War II, will be laid to rest in a state burial as thousands of people, including guests from over 217 nations, territories, and international organizations, arrive in the country.

Despite polls indicating that the majority of Japanese did not like him, he maintained getting into power. There have been numerous protests over the assassinated prime minister's state funeral until today.

However, Shinzo Abe is regarded for delivering Japan stability and security. Japan has just experienced its worst disaster since World War Two, including a major earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown at Fukushima, before Shinzo Abe took office again in 2012. With the "Abenomics" strategy, Shinzo Abe bolstered the economy of the nation and fervently proclaimed, "Japan is back."

In fact, Shinzo Abe was cremated in July itself and procedures like his burial were completed. The last rites performed at that time are called private funerals, in which only family members and special people took part. Now the State Funeral will be attended by the public, his fans, representatives of other countries, etc. and he will be given a final farewell with state honors.

A state funeral is called a state funeral. This funeral is a tribute from the government to Shinzo Abe. The logic behind this is that Shinzo Abe was the country's PM for the longest time and he faced many crises during his tenure, so he should get an honor. It is similar to the national mourning found in India, in which gun salutes are given to the deceased. It is considered a symbolic last farewell, which is given by the country. This is a public event, in which the public also participates.
