Japanese Government Upset About Comfort Woman Statue Going Up in Germany

It appears these activists will not be happy until there are comfort women statues in every major city in the world:

Bundled up for winter

Japanese diplomats in Germany are reportedly trying to obstruct a civic group’s plan to erect a “girl statue” representing wartime sex slavery victims inside a museum in Bonn.

The diplomats recently visited Marianne Pitzen, founder and chief of the Bonn Women’s Museum, following media reports that a girl statue would be installed inside, said Yi Eun-hi, an activist who is leading the project.

Over 200,000 South Korean women were abused as sex slaves by the Japanese army before and during World War II.

At the meeting with Pitzen, the Japanese diplomats insisted that the number of the so-called comfort women is difficult to calculate and that they “volunteered” to serve for Japanese soldiers.  [Korea Times]

In Hell you would probably cook
if you filled that marketing nook.
It would be in bad taste
to be casting the face
and sell a real doll rocking that look.

The one statue outside the Japanese embassy is enough. Widespread introduction just makes them meaningless.

“Wow. You went there.”

I go everywhere.

It is the burden of a true artist.
