Change the rules, the war criminals were not truly "serving the emperor". The war criminals were only enshrined there in the 60s, a deliberate decision was made to enshrine the war criminals against the wishes of the emperor (who subsequently boycotted the shrine, as does his successor).

Also, a decent review of the revionism going on in their museum. They even have a paragraph describing Wang Jingwei as someone who "wanted peace with Japan".
