Description
A controversial exhibition featuring a statue symbolising "comfort women" who were forced to serve Japanese troops during World War II as sex slaves, reopened on Saturday in Kunitachi, Tokyo, two months after it was forced to shut due to Japan's right-wing protests.
The controversial figure is on display after new safety measures were put in place, with guides and educational programmes offered to visitors, organisers said.
The inclusion of the statue sparked controversy at a time when relations between Japan and South Korea plunged to new lows over wartime issues. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
