S. Korean envoy seeks Japan 'calm' over textbook revision

SHIMONOSEKI, Japan - South Korean Ambassador to Japan Choi Sang Yong urged Japan on June 22 at a meeting in Shimonoseki in western Japan to deal ''calmly'' with South Korea's demand for revisions to some history textbooks approved for use from next April. In May, Seoul demanded that Japan make 35 revisions to the new junior high school textbooks, which critics say justify Japan's wartime colonization of Korea.
