The State Funeral of Aritomo YAMAGATA was held at the same site, Hibiya Park, three weeks later, which reflected his relative unpopularity, as there were few people apart from those who were affiliated with the government, so it was said to be 'like a bureaucrat or military funeral,' and as reported by the Tokyo Nichinichi journal the next day, 'it was a state funeral without the people, so the empty tents brought lonesome feelings.'
この三週間後に同じ日比谷公園で行われた山縣有朋の「国葬」では、山縣の不人気を反映して政府関係者以外は人影もまばらで「まるで官葬か軍葬」と言われ、翌日の東京日日新聞は「民抜きの国葬で、幄舎の中はガランドウの寂しさ」と報じたほどだった。
