Mourners streamed into a temple in Tokyo to pay their respects to Japan's slain former premier Shinzo Abe on Monday, as his assassination overshadowed an election win for the ruling party he had dominated.

"There is a profound sense of sorrow at his loss," Yellen told reporters outside the temple, where she placed incense in Abe's honor and greeted his family. Neither Abe nor Yamagami were members of the church, said Tomihiro Tanaka, president of its Japan branch, adding that it would cooperate with police if asked to do so.
Abe's death has drawn condolences from leaders around the world, from Britain's Queen Elizabeth II to Chinese Premier Xi Jinping. At the wake, a line of black sedan cars, including several with diplomatic plates, dropped off dignitaries and family at Tokyo's Zojoji temple, where the ex-premier's body lay.
With no elections set for another three years, Kishida, an Abe protege, now has an unusually long breathing space to attempt to implement his own agenda. That includes expanding defense spending and revising Japan's pacifist constitution—a long-held dream of Abe's.
