Japan shrine 'to review display'

Japan's controversial Yasukuni shrine is to review a controversial
display that says the US provoked Japan into entering WWII,
Japanese media reports.

The US government complained about the exhibit, which claims
that a US economic embargo forced Japan into war.

The Yasukuni shrine, seen by critics as a symbol of Japan's past
militarism, has soured ties with its neighbours.

It is likely to overshadow a fence-mending visit to neighbours
that New PM Shinzo Abe begins on Sunday.
