Japan’s former Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama, who was known for his bushy eyebrows and his 1995 “Murayama statement” apologizing to Asian victims of his country’s aggression, died Friday of old age. He was 101.
Murayama died at a hospital in his hometown Oita, southwestern Japan, according to a statement from Mizuho Fukushima, the head of Japan's Social Democratic Party.
