On Saturday, Japan marked one year since former prime minister Shinzo Abe was gunned down during an election speech by a man angry at his links to the Unification Church. At a private memorial service at a Tokyo Buddhist temple, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, senior officials, lawmakers and Abe's widow Akie gathered to reflect on the past year. Kishida pledged that he would "carry on the will of the deceased Abe.”
