Taro Aso, who is 83, also referred to Yoko Kamikawa, 70, as obasan – a commonly used word for middle-aged women that some regard as derogatory - and twice got her surname wrong, calling her Kamimura. He incorrectly suggested she was Japan’s first female foreign minister.
Kamikawa, who became one of five women appointed to the prime minister, Fumio Kishida’s cabinet in September last year, brushed off Aso’s comments.

8. Mid of Aso at podium
STORYLINE
Outspoken conservative Taro Aso took power as Japan's new prime minister, promising "emergency measures" to revive the ailing economy
and vowing to keep Tokyo in the fight against global militant violence.
The 68-year-old Aso swept into office after his predecessor, Yasuo Fukuda, abruptly resigned.
The former foreign minister is tasked with rejuvenating the failing ruling party ahead of snap elections he could call before the end of the year.
The straight-talking former Olympic skeetshooter gave no hints about when he would call such a ballot, but he has stocked his Cabinet with familiar
ruling party faces to bolster the image of stability.
Aso, Japan's first Catholic leader, will lead a country wracked by political divisions and spiking concerns over the economy, which has stalled amid the ballooning financial crisis in the United States.
"It is obviously necessary for us to take emergency measures to respond to the present recession," he told a media briefing on Wednesday.
"We must help small and medium-sized businesses who are troubled at the end of the year with funding because of high oil prices and the fall out from the sub-prime loan problem," Aso said.
Opposition leaders immediately attacked the new government, with Social Democratic Party leader Mizuho Fukushima telling reporters that "Aso is on the opposite end of the spectrum from regular people."
The newly elected prime minister also used his statement at Wednesday's media briefing to make clear his position on global security.
"We're not doing it for Afghanistan, America or Pakistan. It is our natural responsibility to take part in the world's struggle against terror. I understand that is the main thing that people expect from Japan," Aso said.
Aso will soon have to decide whether to call early elections for the lower house to prove his party - which has governed for nearly 53 years - still has a mandate to rule.
Aso's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) controls the powerful lower house, but the opposition rules the upper house.

4. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Taro Aso, Japanese Finance Minister:
"Regarding the market exchange rate this time that went above the 100 yen mark, there is no comment. From now on I have nothing to say about the markets, so I've got nothing more to comment. Regarding this 100 Yen thing, it relates directly to the (market) movement, I can't say anything about it."

STORYLINE:
Japan's finance minister refused to comment on the dramatic fall in value of the Yen at a G7 meeting in the UK on Saturday.
On Thursday, the dollar rose above 100 yen for the first time in over four years.
At the time of December's general election in Japan, the dollar was trading around the 80 yen mark.
"Regarding this 100 Yen thing, it relates directly to the (market) movement, I can't say anything about it," Taro Aso told reporters.
Japan, the world's number three economy has been in focus over recent months as the new government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has embarked on a radical policy of aggressive monetary stimulus to restart the country's post-war boom, which effectively ground to a halt in the early 1990s.
One of the offshoots of the pumping of more money into the Japanese economy has been a dramatic fall in the value of the yen.
As well as potentially boosting economic growth by making its exports more competitive, the flipside of a lower yen is that it can also stoke inflation by increasing the price of imports.
For a country that's seen prices fall for much of the past 15 years, that's important.
So far, the argument presented by Japanese officials that it has been targeting monetary stimulus and not its exchange rate has been accepted by Japan's G-7 partners.
