Japan upset over ‘comfort women’ memorial in SF -- still

A statue in San Francisco honoring the so-called "comfort women" sex slaves from World War II has enraged officials in Japan, who say they're ready to cut ties with their sister city over it.
Osaka Mayor Hirofumi Yoshimura sent a letter to his California counterpart last month blasting the memorial to the women used by Japanese soldiers in the 1930s and '40s, according to the Japan Times.
