Japan publisher cancels plan to print princess book
A Japanese publisher said recently that it has cancelled a plan to print a Japanese-language edition of a book on the life of Crown Princess Masako that has triggered protest from the government. The Foreign Ministry said this week it was seeking an apology and ?appropriate steps? from Australian journalist Ben Hills, saying his book, Princess Masako ? Prisoner of the Chrysanthemum Throne, insults the royal family and contains factual errors. Hills, who has described his book as ?the story of a romance gone wrong, an Oriental Charles and Diana story?, had refused to apologise and had said that he intended to publish the Japanese edition in early March. The original book, in English, was published in Australia in November .
