Northern islands minister rapped for not knowing island name

Aiko Shimajiri, minister in charge of Okinawa and Northern Territories issues, is interviewed at the Cabinet Office in Tokyo on Jan. 26, 2016. Shimajiri came under fire after she was unable to read the name of one of four Russian-held, Japanese-claimed islands off Hokkaido at a press conference on Feb. 9, 2016, even though she is responsible for raising awareness over the territorial dispute.
