Japan urged to apologize for Pearl Harbor anniversary
An interview with Sassa in Sanker Seiron discusses apology proposals for World War II actions, noting Japan’s partial appeasements to Korea and China but no U.S. gesture. The piece cites a Foreign Ministry official and a 30-person informal group debating a national grand design, amid fears of right-wing retaliation. It references prior calls by Richard von Weizsacker and remarks by Richard Armitage on reciprocal apologies.
