Assassination of Inejirō Asanuma 1960 | Vintage Iconic Photograph | Wall Frame

Collector's item: On 12 October 1960, Inejirō Asanuma , chairman of the Japan Socialist Party, was assassinated at Hibiya Public Hall in Tokyo. During a televised debate, 17-year-old right-wing ultranationalist Otoya Yamaguchi charged onto the stage and fatally stabbed Asanuma with a wakizashi, a type of traditional short sword. Yamaguchi committed suicide while in custody.

The assassination weakened the Japan Socialist Party, inspired a series of copycat crimes,[3] and made Yamaguchi an enduring hero and subsequently a martyr to the Greater Japan Patriotic Party and other Japanese far-right groups.
