The Sanmu incident 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. 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 Sanmu Jiken was originally called the Sanyū Jiken in Japan, and is still sometimes referred to as such.
