Anti-Japanese protests have erupted in China for the second day running, spreading from Beijing to the southern province of Guangdong.
The rallies follow a 10,000-strong march in the Chinese capital - the city's biggest protest since 1999.
Protesters are angry at a new Japanese history textbook which they believe plays down Japan's wartime atrocities.
Japan has protested to China after stone-throwing protesters attacked Japan's embassy in Beijing on Saturday.
Japan's foreign minister is to visit China next week to discuss "a number of bilateral and international issues", a spokesman for Japan's Foreign Ministry said.
Security measures
At least 3,000 people demonstrated at the Japanese consulate in the southern city of Guangzhou on Sunday, shouting for a boycott of Japanese goods and burning Japanese flags.
A Japanese diplomat said some windows in the consulate were broken.
Hong Kong cable television showed protesters with Chinese flags and banners reading "down with Japanese militarism".
