Yasukuni Shrine to Revise Museum's Claim of U.S. Provocation

The Mainichi Daily News reports that the Yushukan, the controversial Tokyo museum run by the Yasukuni Shrine, will drop an accusation that the U.S. conspired and forced Japan into World War II by crippling its economy through embargoes.

But Hisahiko Okazaki, a historian and former ambassador to Thailand who serves as an adviser to Yasukuni, said there is no plan to change exhibits that critics say gloss over Japan's wartime atrocities in Asia. 'Regarding the exhibit on China and South Korea, I don't see any reference that requires a correction,' Okazaki said.
