Mr. Hayashi mentioned this information after some media outlets reported that the images taken by reporters had different details than the photos posted by the Japanese Prime Minister's Office, The Japan Times reported on October 7.
Accordingly, the original photo shows a small part of the white shirts of Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru and Defense Minister Nakatani Gen exposed above the waist, while the photo released by the government has the shirts covered. In addition, the positions of some ministers have also been moved slightly to be more prominent.
When first published, the original photo caused many satirical comments about the "carelessness" in taking the photo.
The exposed shirts (left photo, red circle) of Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru and Defense Minister Nakatani Gen have been edited.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi said that not only the photos of cabinet members mentioned above, but also photos at official events at the Prime Minister's Office will be kept for many years to come, so some of the photos have been edited to be appropriate.
Mr. Ishiba Shigeru was officially appointed as the new Prime Minister of Japan on October 1, and the new government's cabinet held its first meeting a few days later. Mr. Ishiba announced that an early general election would be held on October 27.
