The mood in Japan is sour ahead of Tuesday's state funeral for the slain former prime minister.
"How could Abe's funeral cost more than the Queen's?" read one headline.
Many are already predicting the actual price tag to be much higher, citing examples such as the Tokyo Olympics which ended up costing $13bn - about double the original estimate. When Tokyo-based event organiser Murayama was revealed as the only bidder - and therefore the winner of the 176m yen contract - for the state funeral, eyebrows were raised as it was the company Mr Abe used to hostMore than 75% of people surveyed by a recent Kyodo news agency poll said the government was spending too much on the funeral.

Shedding light on the happy hormoneTwinkling lights make a city view all the more beautiful at night, and may evoke feelings of romance and happiness.
