Hiroyuki Morota, a member of the Shizuoka prefecture assembly and owner of an import firm, defended his decision in a televised press conference but conceded that the move was ill-timed.

It was not that I was earning unjust profits,” Morota said.The apology came after he faced a storm of criticism for the sales and his claims that the auction prices were market value.
