This article explores various civil violence issue and movements during 1970 in Japan. Since 1960, when the government of Prime Minister Nobuske Kishi rammed ratification of the U.S.-Japan Mutual Treaty of Cooperation and Security through the Diet Under the treaty's provisions, the civil turmoil, violence and repression had entered in Japan. This violence was at its peak in 1970. The 1970 anti-treaty movement has became a more general protest, having as its broadest target the whole Japanese "system." These produced both political and social irritants.
