A court in Japan has jailed a 66-year-old man for a year for stealing 10 yen (12 cents) from a temple offering box, reducing his original sentence by eight months.

A district court ordered Masafumi Tsuruhara to spend 20 months in prison earlier this year after being caught taking the coin at Kongou-buji Temple in Wakayama, western Japan.

Tsuruhara appealed to Osaka High Court, insisting he had just been "playing with it", press reports said on Friday.

A judge on Thursday said the sentence was "too heavy", they added. A court spokeswoman confirmed the jail term had been reduced to one year.
