No matter how much one denies having an association with neo-Nazi's having your picture taken with the leader of the National Socialist Japanese Workers Party doesn't really cause one to believe your assertions of non-association.
A majority of those within Abe's inner circle are like him ultra nationalists, historical revisionists and war crimes deniers. They seem oblivious to the offense caused by these tightly held beliefs.

Two newly-promoted Japanese politicians moved Monday to distance themselves from allegations of extremism after pictures emerged of them posing alongside the leader of a domestic neo-Nazi party.
Internal Affairs Minister Sanae Takaichi and party policy chief Tomomi Inada are seen in separate photographs next to Kazunari Yamada on the home page of the National Socialist Japanese Workers Party.
The pictures will add fuel to claims that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is increasingly surrounding himself with people on the right of Japanese politics.
Yamada’s blog postings indicate admiration for Adolf Hitler and praise for the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
