TheSanmu incident (三無事件,San mu jiken) was an attemptedcoup d'état in Japan that was foiled on December 12, 1961. During the raid undertaken by theNational Police Agency, 13 conspirators were arrested.[1] It was the first coup attempt inpost-war Japan. The only other attempt in this period, led byYukio Mishima, would follow in 1970. TheSanmu Jiken was originally called theSanyū Jiken in Japan, and is still sometimes referred to as such.[2]
The stated goals of the group were to killPrime MinisterHayato Ikeda, hisCabinet, and take control of theNational Diet.[3] They hoped that this would preventJapan from succumbing to acommunist revolution. At the time of the arrest, the conspirators had already come into possession of uniforms and deadly weaponry, such as grenades and rifles.[1][3]
