Assassination of Asanuma Inejiro

Seventeen-year-old Yamaguchi Otoya uses a foot-long sword to kill Japan Socialist Party leader Asanuma Inajiro, on a public stage in Tokyo. Yamaguchi was upset with Asanuma's support of a U.S.-Japan mutual defense treaty. The creator of this photograph, Yasushi Nagao, was the first non-American photographer to win a Pulitzer Prize.
