STORYLINE:

The Japanese government's approval of a number of controversial junior school history textbooks is continuing to provoke a wave of protests across Asia and is endangering relations between Japan and its neighbours.

Both Korea and China have complained formally to Japan over one textbook in particular which critics say glorifies Japan's wartime aggression against her neighbours.

The textbook row has rekindled anti-Japanese sentiment in South Korea, a Japanese colony between 1910 and 1945.

South Korean political parties met on Thursday to discuss how to coordinate the country's response; some politicians are calling for a boycott of Japanese goods.

At this protest in downtown Seoul, protestors cut themselves so as to be able to write anti-Japanese slogans in their own blood.

One history textbook in particular calls the World War II period "The Great East Asian War", the same terminoilogy used by Japanese militarists at the time.

The books also stresses the damage Japan suffered during the war, while limiting references to Japanese acts of brutality.


The textbook does not mention their ordeal.
