Saturday marks one year since former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated, with several controversial issues unresolved, including ties between lawmakers and the Unification Church, and the rules for holding a state funeral. People, including Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Abe's widow, are scheduled to gather at Zojoji, a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, to mourn Japan's longest-serving premier, who was fatally shot during an election campaign speech on July 8 last year at the age of 67.
