The Sanmu incident (三無事件, San mu jiken) was an attempted coup d'état in Japan that was foiled on December 12, 1961. During the raid undertaken by the National Police Agency, 13 conspirators were arrested.[1] It was the first coup attempt in post-war Japan. The only other attempt in this period, led by Yukio Mishima, would follow in 1970.
The stated goals of the group were to kill Prime MinisterHayato Ikeda, his Cabinet, and take control of the National Diet.[2] They hoped that this would prevent Japan from succumbing to a communist 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][2]
