Amakasu Incident
The Amakasu Incident occurred on September 16 , 1923 , in the chaos immediately following the Great Kantō earthquake . Fearing that anarchists would take advantage of the disaster to overthrow the government, a squad of military police led by Lieutenant Masahiko Amakasu arrested Sakae Osugi , Noe Ito , and Sakae's six year old nephew. They were later beaten to death and their bodies thrown into a well.
The killing of such high profile anarchists, along with a young child, became known as the Amakasu Incident, and sparked surprise and anger throughout Japan .
