Nobel-prize winning author Kenzaburo Oe has sharply criticized Japan for not fully apologizing to Korea over past atrocities.
Speaking at a forum held in Seoul on Thursday,... the prominent Japanese writer said... Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,... who didn't experience the Second World War,... cannot even imagine the horrific crimes that Japan had committed during war time.
The 80-year old author,... who experienced the war during his childhood,... urged Japan to deeply reflect on the past.
Mr. Oe is Japan's second Nobel Laureate in literature,... who was given the honor in 1994.
