If you want to know the horrors of Japanese atrocity, and have a strong stomach...google - --- Unit 731 ---
hard to imagine, but worse than anything Mengele could dream up.
And the Japanese govt and court systems have continually stymied attempts to bring more evidence of these atrocities to light.. requiring in fact, discovered evidence be destroyed
I vaguely recall an incident a few years ago where researchers had discovered bones etc from a 731 site but were refused permission to continue and instead allow development over the site to hide/destroy it permanently
The Japanese PM raised ire again for visiting the Yakusuni war dead shrine where hundreds of war criminals are buried including several A class war criminals.
He said it was a visit to denounce war, but everyone knows the real political implications of visiting the shrine, and he broke an agreement with China that no sitting PM should visit.
This is also the PM who denies that Japan forced women into sexual slavery

He has also ordered a rewriting of school history books to reflect a more nationalistic view of Japan wartime record.
